Light Absorption and Scattering

Front

It occurs when particles absorb light and scatter it in all directions.

Back

Scattering of light

Front

This color is being scattered the most by the particles in the

atmosphere.

Back

Violet

Front

It is the scattering of light that depends on the relative size of the

particles and the wavelength of light.

Back

Rayleigh scattering

Front

It is the spreading of light when it encounters an obstacle or an

opening.

Back

diffraction

Front

Give one of the two factors which affect the amount of diffraction.

Back

size of the opening and wavelength of light

Front

It usually occurs in microscopes when the wavelength of light is larger

than the size of the object.

Back

No image will be seen.

Front

It is the combination of two or more waves into one wave whenever

they pass through the same point.

Back

interference

Front

This phenomenon occurs when the crest of one wave meets the crest

of another wave of the same wavelength.

Back

constructive interference

Front

Human eyes are more sensitive to this frequency of light.

Back

blue frequencies of light

Front

This type of interference results in the cancellation of the two waves.
