Question
Which statement correctly distinguishes scattering from dispersion, based on the chapter's treatment of both? refraction angles; scattering is the redirection of light by small particles, with the scattered colour depending on particle size
They are exactly the same phenomenon with different names
Dispersion is the splitting of white light into colours by a prism based on differing
Scattering only happens in glass prisms
Dispersion only happens in the atmosphere, never in a prism
Detailed Explanation
The chapter treats dispersion (via a prism, based on differential bending of colours) and scattering (via atmospheric particles, dependent on particle size) as related but distinct optical phenomena.
