← ScienceWhich consequence results when atmospheric particles scatter polarized light?
A)Sky brightness varies with the angle.✓
B)Refraction creates strong chromatic aberration.
C)Increased coherence degrades imaging quality.
D)Spectrometer resolution improves significantly then.
💡 Explanation
The intensity distribution changes because Rayleigh scattering preferentially scatters polarized light at different angles via preferential excitation of dipoles. Therefore, sky appears non-uniform; rather than uniform due to multiple scattering and other wavelengths.
