• A. directly proportional to wavelength of light
• B. directly proportional to square of wavelength of light
• C. independent of wavelength of light
• D. inversely proportional to wavelength of light
• E. inversely proportional to fourth power of wavelength of light

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

We know according to Rayleigh,
$I\propto \frac{1}{{\lambda }^4}$
