Which one of the following does not accurately describe the universal gravitational law? a. every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass. b. gravitational force is proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies. c. gravitational force is proportional to the product of the two masses. d. the object with the smaller mass does most of the moving because the object with the larger mass has too much inertia to move any noticeable amount.

B. Gravitational force is proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies.

it's one over the square ... invrse or reciprocal square law

Gravitational force is proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies.

Explanation:

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
