Consider the following statements regarding the scattering of light: 1. Rayleigh scattering is valid only when the size of the scattering particles is much smaller than the wavelength of light. 2. Clouds appear white because they contain large water droplets that scatter all wavelengths of light almost equally. 3. Red light is used for danger signals because it is scattered the most by smoke and fog, making it highly visible from a distance. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

  • A: 1 and 3 only
  • B: 2 and 3 only
  • C: 1 and 2 only
