Question
Suppose that we eventually discover a planet whose atmosphere scatters only light at infrared wavelengths. What color would the sky appear as viewed from the planet? a. reddish b. bluish c. black d. white.
2. When does Rayleigh scattening in our atmosphere occur?
the molecules doing the scattering are much larger than the wavelengths.
the resonance frequency of the molecules are in the UV range.
the resonance frequency of the molecules are in the visible range.
the molecules doing the scattering have the same resonance frequency as visible light AND are the same size as the molecules.
a.the molecules doing the scattering are much larger than the wavelengths.
b.the resonance frequency of the molecules are in the UV range.
c.the resonance frequency of the molecules are in the visible range.
d.the molecules doing the scattering have the same resonance frequency as visible light AND are the same size as the molecules.
Explanation / Answer
1 since atmosphere scatters only light at infrared wavelengths so sky appear as viewed from the planet will be reddish
2 the molecules doing the scattering have the same resonance frequency as visible light AND are the same size as the molecules.
