MCQ
At noon the sun appears white because:
- ✓Light is least scattered.
- BAll the colours of the white light are scattered away.
- CBlue colour is scattered the most.
- DRed colour is scattered the most.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Light is least scattered.
At noon because the sun is overhead, the light is scattered the least and hence appears white. When it is overhead, it has lesser air to travel through and the scattering from dust and other particles is reduced if the distance to be travelled in air is reduced.
