The clear sky appears blue because:

  • A
    Blue light gets absorbed in the atmosphere.
  • B
    Ultraviolet radiations are absorbed in the atmosphere.
  • C
    Violet and blue lights get scattered more than lights of all other colours by the atmosphere.
  • D
    Light of all other colours is scattered more than the violet and blue colour lights by the atmosphere.
✓

Answer

  1. Violet and blue lights get scattered more than lights of all other colours by the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The scattering of light depends on the size of the dust particles and the wavelength of the light. The amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength.

Since, violet and blue lights get scattered more than lights of all other colours by the atmosphere the sky appears blue.

Two metallic plates A and B, each of area 5 ´ 10–4m2 are placed parallel to each other at a separation of 1 cm. Plate B carries a positive charge of 33.7 pc. A monochromatic beam of light, with photons of energy 5 eV each, starts falling on plate A at t = 0, so that 1016 photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every 106 incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate B and the work function of plate A remains constant at the value 2 eV. Electric field between the plates at the end of 10 seconds is
