    Question

    A fine beam of light becomes visible when it enters a smoke filled room due to :

    A.

    refraction of light

    B.

    dispersion of light

    C.

    reflection of light

    D.

    scattering of light

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is option (D) Scattering of light

    • Scattering of light occurs when light interacts with small particles or molecules in the medium it travels through, causing the light to change direction.
    • In the case of a smoke-filled room, the smoke particles scatter the light, making the path of the light beam visible to the observer.
    • This is why the beam appears visible as it passes through the room.

    Information Booster :-

    • Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another (like from air into water). While refraction does occur when light enters a different medium.
    • Dispersion occurs when light is separated into its component colors, as seen in a prism.
    • Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface. While reflection may happen within the room, it is scattering that makes the beam of light visible in a smoke-filled room.
