    What Color Would the Sun Appear If the Earth's Atmosphere Scattered Green Light?

    Yes, I understand your point. I naturally thought that if the green frequencies were able to be scattered, then the higher frequencies such as blue would be scattered for sure. However, the problem does not mention whether scattering is based on just green light or rather the green end of the...

    What Color Would the Sun Appear If the Earth's Atmosphere Scattered Green Light?

    Hello, just need some guidance - I hope my logic is correct! Homework Statement So I have a scenario where the Earth's atmosphere, instead of scattering blue light from the sun, actually scatters green light based on Rayleigh scattering. I know that the sky will therefore appear...

    Atmospheric Scattering Problem

    Hello, So I have a scenario where the Earth's atmosphere, instead of scattering blue light from the sun, actually scatters green light based on Rayleigh scattering. I know that the sky will therefore appear green, but how will the sun appear? I reasoned the sun will be magenta using...
