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