Partially. Large bodies of water do appear blue from relecting blue light from the sky. Consider that the ocean or a large lake does not appear blue on a cloudy day. However, when diving underwater or looking into a pool you may notice a blueish tint. This is due to the water absorbing light at the red end of the spectrum, letting relatively more blue light through. This works when looking though the water, however, rather than simply looking at the surface.
No. The long answer:
The sky is blue because of scattering - when white light encounters the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the earth's atmosphere, the high frequency section of the white light strikes the orbiting atoms of the nitrogen and oxygen, which causes the high frequency light to be scattered in all directions.
The high frequency light scattered by the molecules in the air are the violet, indigo, and blue colors of white light. These are the colors reflected by the atoms in the atmosphere, and therefore are the colors that we see in the sky.
Transmitted light (from the sun, light bulbs, fire, etc) is made up of a spectrum of colors. The longest wavelengths of light are on the red end of the spectrum and the shortest wavelengths are on the blue/violet end of the spectrum.
When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.
Because the water reflects the color of the sky, and the skies are blue.
because the sky reflects off it
They are blue because the sky's color is reflected in the water. The water is actually clear, but looks blue because of the sky. During cloudy days and storms, the color is more grayish than blue. It reflects the colour of the sky. It is blue because of the sky. It reflects off the sky.
sky , the water only reflects the color of the sky.
I've recently heard that the water's color is because of the sky. You see, water is very clear and transparent. The sky's color reflects towards it so that's why water seems blue.
No the water only reflects the color of the sky
See the sky reflects its blue color so it appears to to u as shades of blue Hey that rhymed! :D
No i think the sky is blue because the reflection of the ocean or could it be the sky is blue and it reflects on to the ocean?
because the sea reflects the COLOUR of the sky
I like chicken a lot. The sky reflects of the bodies of water making the sky blue, so i guess the sky is the color of the water. Jefferson County snackshack.
the color of ocean is blue because the blue color splits more and the color of sky becomes blue and it reflects the blue color and the color of sea becomes blue
Because the colour of the sky reflects on the rainbow which makes it blue DAH DAH
