A)large particles
B)small particles
C)both the same

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small particles interact more with light of relatively high frequencies due to the phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. This is why the sky appears blue, as the small air particles scatter light with shorter wavelengths (blue) more than light with longer wavelengths (red). Large particles, on the other hand, scatter light of all frequencies equally and do not show a preference for high frequency light.
