Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.

Which color of the light will reach the farthest?
Blue light tends to scatter more easily in the atmosphere, while red light can penetrate farther due to its longer wavelength. This is why objects appear red at sunrise and sunset when the sun is lower in the sky.
Which element in your atmosphere causes scatter of light?
The element in the atmosphere that causes scatter of light is nitrogen. When sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, nitrogen molecules scatter shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, which is why the sky appears blue to our eyes.
Do nebulas absorb light?
Nebulas do not absorb light in the same way that solid objects do. Instead, they scatter and reflect light from nearby stars and emit their own light through ionized gases and dust particles. This creates the beautiful and colorful appearance we see in images of nebulas.
What are non-luminous source of light?
Non-luminous sources of light do not produce their own light but reflect or scatter light from other sources. Examples include the moon, planets, and objects like books or walls that reflect light from other sources like the sun or artificial lighting.
What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
Why are objects visible?
Because they still absorb and scatter some light.
What is the term for materials transmit and scatter light?
translucent
Why tranparent objects are visible?
Because they still absorb and scatter some light.
What two terms describe objects from which light is provided?
Luminous objects are sources that emit light, while illuminated objects are those that reflect or scatter light from a different source.
Do opaque objects transmit and reflect light?
Opaque objects do not transmit light, meaning light cannot pass through them. Instead, they reflect, absorb, or scatter light that strikes them, depending on their properties.
Why objects may not shine with their own light but are still visible?
They reflect and scatter visible light that comes from an external source.
Do Transparent objects cast shadows?
Transparent objects do not block light entirely, so they do not cast shadows as opaque objects do. They may create soft or colored shadows depending on how they refract and scatter light passing through them.
What are three types of objects that affect light differently?
Transparent objects allow light to pass through without scattering, such as glass. Opaque objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through, like wood. Translucent objects scatter light as it passes through, leading to a diffused appearance, such as frosted glass.
What scatters light?
Particles in the atmosphere such as dust, water droplets, and gas molecules scatter sunlight, leading to phenomena like blue skies and colorful sunsets. Objects with irregular surfaces can also scatter light, causing glare or diffusing the light in different directions.
Can light pass through translucent objects?
Yes, light can pass through translucent objects. Translucent materials allow light to pass through, but they scatter the light in different directions, creating a hazy or diffused appearance. Examples of translucent objects include frosted glass and wax paper.
Do suspensions scatter light?
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
