1) Pick the correct statement ...
When red light passed through the atmosphere, its short wavelength causes it to pass through the atmosphere without being scattered. When blue light passed through the atmosphere, its long wavelength causes it to be scattered as it passes through the atmosphere. When blue light passed through the atmosphere, its short wavelength causes it to be scattered as it passes through the atmosphere.
2) Only red and blue light is scattered by the atmosphere. Blue is scattered most, making the sky appear blue.
True False
3) Red and blue light waves have about the same wavelength. This difference in wavelength have nothing to do with why the sky appears blue.
4) The atmosphere (air) scatters blue light waves more than any other color, making the sky appear blue.
5) The sky is blue because the other colors are all absorbed by the atmosphere.
6) The sky is blue because all the other colors are scattered away much more than blue.
7) The sky is blue because blue light is scattered most.
8) The earth's thick atmosphere absorbs all other colors 100%. Only blue light can get through.
9) What color has the shortest wavelength?
Blue Red Violet
10) The sky appears blue - not violet - because our eyes are better at seeing blue.
