  1. The colour of sky appears blue due to
    1. reflection
    2. refraction
    3. scattering of shorter wave lengths
    4. dispersion
Correct Option: C

The sunlit sky is blue because air scatters shortwavelength light more than longer wavelengths. Since blue light is at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, it is more strongly scattered in the atmosphere than long wavelength red light. The result is that the human eye perceives blue when looking toward parts of the sky other than the sun.
