Blue light scattering

The dependence Blue light scatters more than red. (This is often associated with the blue of the sky and the red of the sunset," but other factors are involved here including the fact that in perfectly clean air (no particles) scattering occurs from small, thermodynamic fluctuations in the air density.)... [Pg.626]

Rayleigh scattering is reponsible for the blue color of the sky. Blue light scatters more than other wavelengths because of its shorter wavelength. [Pg.523]

The application of this last result to light scattered by the earth s atmosphere is especially interesting. The wavelengths of light at the red and blue ends of the... [Pg.676]

Lord Rayleigh (1871) recognized that the blue of the sky is the result of light scattering. It is obvious from the numerous pictures sent back from outer space that the blackness observed by astronauts is quite different from our earthly observations of a blue sky. Rayleigh developed the theory of light... [Pg.32]
