Verified by Toppr

The correct answer is (a) Green.

The spectrum of visible light runs from violet to red, which is banded on either side by ultraviolet and infrared rays.

Red light has the longest wavelength of about 650nm. While Violet has the shortest wavelength of 400nm and green having 530nm.

Different wavelengths of light scatter differently through varying medium.
