Question

which of the associations of scattering and other phenomena is incorrect?
a. mie scattering, and the whitish haze resultant from pollutants 0.01 - 1 micrometer in diameter.
b. rayleigh scattering, and blue sky.
c. geometric or nonselective scattering on cloud droplets 10 - 100 micrometers in diameter, and white clouds.
d. deep blue sky observed from a mountain top, and many haze particles in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Mie scattering occurs due to particles like pollutants with size 0.01 - 1 micrometer causing a whitish haze. Rayleigh scattering by air molecules makes the sky blue. Geometric or non - selective scattering by cloud droplets (10 - 100 micrometers) results in white clouds. A deep blue sky from a mountain top is due to less air and fewer scattering particles, not many haze particles.

Answer:

D. Deep blue sky observed from a mountain top, and many haze particles in the atmosphere.
