Answer:
begin mathsize 14px style Refractive space index space of space straight a space medium equals fraction numerator Speed space of space light space in space vacuum over denominator Speed space of space light space the space given space medium end fraction end style
Intensity of scattered light is proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength of the incident light, provided the diameter of the scattering particle are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light.
i.e. begin mathsize 14px style straight I space equals 1 over straight lambda to the power of 4 end style
The scattered intensity is maximum for shorter wavelengths.

sir i want to ask that why when we move a magnet around a wire or vice ,the current is being induced in wire and , is this  due to change in magnetic field as answered by google but i want to ask why does manetic field change  let us assume that it is changed then,  one expert answered that magnetic field is created around a wire which induces current and why does magnetic field is induced in wire and why magnetic field induces current.
 
 
pls answer the coloured rest is just explanation . I hope that you will understand my doubt and answer me with good explanation .
