Question

Choose the correct option from the below which explains the reason for us to perceive the day sky as blue.

विकल्प

• As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, shorter wavelengths, such as blue are scattered more than other colors.

• The sky appears blue because all colors are scattered equally, but blue light is stronger and more visible to the human eye.

• The blue color of the sky is due to longer wavelengths like red and orange scattering more than shorter wavelengths, making blue stand out more.

• The atmosphere contains blue-colored particles that give the sky its blue appearance.

Answer 1

As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, shorter wavelengths, such as blue are scattered more than other colors.

Explanation:

This phenomenon is called Rayleigh scattering, where shorter wavelengths like blue are scattered more by the air molecules in the atmosphere, making the sky appear blue to our eyes.
