प्रश्न
Explain with the help of a diagram how sunlight is polarised by scattering through atmospheric particles ?
उत्तर
Unpolarised light scattering from air molecules shake its electrons perpendicular to the direction of the original ray. The scattered light therefore has a polarisation perpendicular to the original direction and none parallel to the original direction.
