       Illumination of the sun at noon is maximum because:

    A)  scattering is reduced at noon

    B)  refraction of light is minimum at noon

    C)  rays are incident almost normally

    D)  the sun is nearer to earth at noon

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The intensity of illumination is given by \[I=\frac{P\cos \,}{{{r}^{2}}}\]                                    ?(1) where P = power of the source r= distance between source and point \[=\] angle of incidence when \[\,\text{=}\,0,\,I\] will be maximum. Hence the rays from the sun are incident normally on the earth surface.
