Question 3 • Physics

Which idea does Arnold need to correct?

Answer
A
In specular reflection, reflected rays move in the same direction.
B
In scattering, long wavelengths are scattered the most.
C
In scattering, light strikes particles in the atmosphere.
D
In diffuse reflection, reflected rays move in different directions.

Explanation

Arnold should correct the idea that long wavelengths are scattered the most. In the atmosphere, shorter wavelengths—such as blue light—are scattered more strongly than longer wavelengths, such as red light. The other statements describe specular reflection, diffuse reflection, and atmospheric scattering correctly.
