    If the scattering intensity of a liquid is 8 units at a wavelength of 500 nm, then the scattering intensity at a wavelength of 400 nm will be approximately

    A)  13 units

    B)  16 units

    C)  20 units

    D)  24 unit

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Intensity, \[I\propto \frac{1}{{{\lambda }^{4}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{I}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}} \right)}^{4}}\] \[\frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{I}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{500}{400} \right)}^{4}}\cong 2.5\] \[{{I}_{2}}=2.5{{I}_{1}}=2.5\times 8\] \[{{I}_{2}}=20.5\approx 20\]units
