No. Longer wavelengths travel further. This is true for any media, even air. This is why you see the red light further than the green light.
The wavelengths of light that penetrate deepest into the ocean are blue and green light. These colors can travel the farthest through water because they are absorbed less by water molecules and particles.
they are absorbed
Blue light wavelengths (around 450-485 nm) are absorbed the quickest in the ocean due to the scattering and absorption effects of the water molecules and particles. This is why ocean water appears blue, as blue light penetrates less deeply than other visible light wavelengths.
There is no "usable" light agter 200 meters...
light, light decreases with depth, affecting photosynthesis The deeper in the ocean you go, the less sunlight is present, and the less vigorous are algae. At some particular depth, the algae can no longer support themselves, so they cannot live at the depth (or deeper).
Unfortunately the ship sank
the depth does affect the temperature because less sun light gets to the bottom to get less heat
Ocean water appears blue because it absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum and reflects blue light. This happens because water molecules absorb longer wavelengths of light, like red and orange, while shorter wavelengths, like blue, are scattered and reflected back to our eyes.
A very good question, here. Depth affects the ocean color based upon how much water is contained in that depth. Light, as we know, travels very fast. But when light begins to travel through water, it begins to slow down. In fact, it begins to move so slow that it eventually stops. This is why the deeper you go, the darker it gets. Did you know that sound moves faster in water than in open air?
The water in the ocean appears blue because it absorbs colors from the sunlight spectrum and reflects blue light back to our eyes. This is due to the way water molecules scatter and absorb light wavelengths.
different sea creatures need different amounts of light and water temp.
