what is scattering of light ?

Hi Chalwad!

Scattering is the phenomenon by which a beam of light is redirected in many different directions when it interacts with a particle of matter. When sunlight strikes molecules in our atmosphere, the light is redirected in many directions. The blue light is scattered more than the red light causing the sky to be blue.

Cheers!!

When light is passed through a medium when we can see the path of light we call it as scatterisation of light.

Light scatters through colloidal and suspensions
