arnold makes a chart to summarize what happens when light interacts with matter and is reflected. type of interaction description specular reflection occurs when light strikes a smooth surface follows the law of reflection reflected rays move in the same direction diffuse reflection occurs when light strikes a rough surface follows the law of reflection reflected rays move in different directions scattering occurs when light strikes particles in the atmosphere follows the law of reflection long wavelengths are scattered the most which idea does arnold need to correct? in specular reflection, reflected rays move in the same direction. in scattering, light strikes particles in the atmosphere. in diffuse reflection, reflected rays move in different directions. in scattering, long wavelengths are scattered the most.

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Recall light - scattering principle In light - scattering, short wavelengths are scattered more than long wavelengths. For example, the sky appears blue because shorter - wavelength blue light is scattered more by the gas molecules in the atmosphere. ## Step2: Analyze each option - Option 1: In specular reflection, on a smooth surface, reflected rays move in the same direction, which is correct. - Option 2: In scattering, light does strike particles in the atmosphere, which is correct. - Option 3: In diffuse reflection, on a rough surface, reflected rays move in different directions, which is correct. - Option 4: In scattering, long wavelengths are scattered the least, not the most. This is the incorrect statement. # Answer: In scattering, long wavelengths are scattered the most.
