What happens to light and path when it strikes particles that are larger than its wavelength?
When light strikes particles larger than its wavelength, it scatters in all directions. This is known as Mie scattering, which differs from Rayleigh scattering that occurs with smaller particles. Mie scattering causes light to lose intensity and change direction as it interacts with the larger particles.
What is small rock particle larger than sand ranging in size from 2mm to 4mm?
A small rock particle larger than sand ranging in size from 2mm to 4mm is typically called fine gravel or granule.
Why is it possible that you can see yourself in an object that reflects light than in an object that scatters light.?
You can see yourself in an object that reflects light because the light bounces off the surface at an angle that allows it to reach your eyes, creating a clear image. In contrast, in an object that scatters light, the light is dispersed in different directions, making it difficult for a focused image to form.
Why does the sun look bigger at sunset?
The sun appears bigger at sunset due to an optical illusion caused by the Earth's atmosphere. When the sun is near the horizon, its light passes through more of the atmosphere, which scatters shorter wavelengths of light and makes the sun appear larger than when it is higher in the sky.
What property is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature?
The property of localized energy packets called photons is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature.
What happens to light and path when it strikes particles that are larger than its wavelength?
When light strikes particles larger than its wavelength, it scatters in all directions. This is known as Mie scattering, which differs from Rayleigh scattering that occurs with smaller particles. Mie scattering causes light to lose intensity and change direction as it interacts with the larger particles.
Does blue light scatter less than red light?
Blue light scatters more than red light. This is because blue light has a shorter wavelength, causing it to interact more with particles in the atmosphere, like air molecules and dust, which leads to more scattering.
Does soil have a larger particle size than gravel?
No, gravel has the larger particles.
Why does everything look blue?
When light enters the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters in all directions. Blue light scatters more than other colors because it has a shorter wavelength. This is why the sky appears blue to our eyes.
How many times larger is the biggest silt particle than the biggest clay particle?
The biggest silt particle is typically 64 times larger than the biggest clay particle. This size difference is due to the different dimensions of silt and clay particles, with silt being larger than clay.
Explain why the sky is blue during the day?
The sky is blue because air scatters blue light more than it scatters red light. So, when you look up at the sky (the sky, not the sun) you are looking at a portion of air. That air has scattered blue light so blue light is what enters your eyes.
What is small rock particle larger than sand ranging in size from 2mm to 4mm?
A small rock particle larger than sand ranging in size from 2mm to 4mm is typically called fine gravel or granule.

When humans look at the sky it appears blue but the Sun appears yellow. What causes this phenomenon?
The atmosphere scatters blue light more than yellow light.
Is a astronomical unit larger than a light year?
An astronomical unit is not larger than a light year. A light years is considered to be approximately 62,000 times larger than an astronomical unit.
Is anything travels faster than light?
no, no material particle can approach the speed of light.
Is there any kind of speed greater than light?
no...but there are particles which have speeds closer to light,like photons,god particle(matter-wave)particle
