If sunlight of color B is scattered through an angle 16 times greater than sunlight of color A, then the wavelength of color B is?

Dx, you should know by now that you have to show your work.

You could at least say you don't know where to start so you can get some hints. :P

OK, I assume this is scattering by diffraction. First tell me what is the relationship between wavelength and diffraction angle.

sin[the] = [lamb]/D.
I am to assue that the ans is simply 1/16 of that color of A or no?

The wave nature of light refers to the understanding that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This means that light can exhibit properties of a wave, such as diffraction and interference, as well as properties of a particle, such as energy and momentum.
The wave nature of light was first discovered by Thomas Young in the early 1800s through his famous double-slit experiment. He observed that when light passed through two narrow slits, it produced an interference pattern on a screen, similar to how waves behave when passing through two openings.
The wavelength and frequency of light waves are inversely proportional. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and ν is the frequency.
Yes, the wave nature of light can explain the phenomenon of refraction. When light waves pass from one medium to another, their speed and direction change due to the change in the medium's density. This causes the light waves to bend, which is known as refraction.
The wave nature of light has various applications in our daily lives, such as in optical technologies like cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. It also plays a crucial role in communication technologies like fiber optics and wireless networks. Additionally, our eyes perceive light as waves, allowing us to see the world around us and its vibrant colors.
