प्रश्न
Explain briefly how sunlight is polarised by scattering through atmospheric particles.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Unpolarized light scattering from air molecules shakes their electrons perpendicular to the direction of the original ray. The scattered light therefore has a polarisation perpendicular to the original direction and none parallel to the original direction.
