Source sentences:
text: As previously stated, Rayleigh scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength, so that shorter wavelength violet and blue light will scatter more than the longer wavelengths (yellow and especially red light).
text: In other words, since 2-4 = 1/16, Rayleigh scattering is proportional to λ-4.
