Question
clouds appear to be white because typical cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter):
a. selectively scatter violet and blue wavelengths.
b. scatter all wavelengths of visible light equally.
c. absorb violet and blue wavelengths.
d. selectively scatter yellow, green, and red wavelengths.
White light is a combination of all visible - light wavelengths. Cloud droplets scatter all wavelengths of visible light equally, which makes clouds appear white. When all visible - light wavelengths are scattered in equal amounts, our eyes perceive the combination as white.
