Abstract

In this experiment what is examined is light scattering. What was done was taking a spectrometer and taking in the sunlight over long periods of time. The goal here is to both identify and determine when Rayleigh or Mie Scattering is taking place. In Rayleigh scattering what should appear is blue light, and in Mie other kinds of light should be observed.
