Q: What occurs when light interacts with our atmosphere?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Rayleigh scattering occurs when light interacts with our atmosphere. The shorter the wavelength of light, the more strongly it is disturbed by collisions with atmospheric molecules. So blue light from the Sun is preferentially scattered by these collisions into our line of sight. This is why the sky appears blue.

 Choices:

- prism effect

- eclipse

- rainbow formation

- rayleigh scattering


A:
rayleigh scattering
