How does blue light penetrate water?
All light penetrates water to a certain extent. However, the shorter the wavelength of the light, the more energy it carries and the less it is absorbed by the water. Blue has a short wavelength compared to red light, so it penetrates further than most of the rest of the visible spectrum.
What is an increase in the wavelength of light as a galaxy moves away from earth?
Red Shift
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What is lowest depth of a wavelength?
Light from the red end of the spectrum penetrates deep water better than light from the blue end of the spectrum. Evidence: Algae that live in deeper water have chlorophylls with absorbance peaks in the infra-red part of the spectrum.
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
What does the Earth's atmosphere do to the Earth?
It will always have the biggest influence on seasonal weather and how much light is allowed to penetrate to the surface. However, the tilt of the Earth is the main cause for seasons.
Why is infrared radiation more harmful than visible light although it has less energy?
Although visible light has a higher level of energy (shorter wavelength), we are protected from visible light due to the ozone and oxygen particles in the Earth's atmosphere that "trap" the visible light rays damaging energy. Infrared radiation is able to penetrate the ozone because of its wavelength, which allows its rays to reach the earth's surface, be absorbed by the soil and water sources, and be reemitted into the atmosphere causing issues such as global warming, health issues, and other long term effects.

How do the wavelength and frequency of light from Andromeda seem to changed when viewed from earth?
the wavelength of any reflected or emitted photon or other particle is shortened in the direction of travel.
What does the atmosphere have to do with earth?
It will always have the biggest influence on seasonal weather and how much light is allowed to penetrate to the surface. However, the tilt of the Earth is the main cause for seasons.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
Why is Jupiter red when it is so far away from the sun?
Because red light is the longest wavelength and is the only light that can travel from the sun to Jupiter and back to earth for us on earth to see.
