Check the correct statements on scattering of light.

S1: Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the bluish appearance of sky.

S2: Rayleigh scattering is proportional to 1λ4 when the size of the scatterer is much less than λ.

S3: Clouds having droplets of water (large scattering objects) scatter all wavelengths almost equal and so are generally white.

S4: The sun looks reddish at sunset and sunrise due to Rayleigh scattering.
