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.
Do the sun's tanning rays penetrate water and to what degree?
All the sun's rays penetrate water, but each color penetrates to a different depth. The colors at the upper end of the light spectrum, especially the UV (ultraviolet) that causes tanning, penetrate deepest. The UV portion of the sun's light can penetrate into clear water for a hundred feet or more at midday. The safest way to avoid overexposure is to remember that if you can see the sunlight, it may cause sunburn, and to limit exposure accordingly or perhaps wear a T-shirt or wet-suit.
What causes north pacific oceans to turn blue?
Sunlight is made up of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Some of the sunlight is reflected off the surface of the water, reflecting the color of the sky. Some of the sunlight penetrates the water and is scattered by ripples and particles in the water (this tinges the appearance of the ocean with the color of the particles). In deep water, much of the sunlight is scattered by the oxygen in the water, and this scatters more of the blue light. Water absorbs more of the red light in sunlight; the water also enhances the scattering of blue light. Source: Enchanted Learning
Can light travel through a water?
An example is that sunlight penetrates sea water for a certain depth. The deeper the sea water the less is the light. This is why at the very deep depths, it is pitch black, as no light can reach this level. Also, if light couldn't pass through water, we would not be able to see the bottom of a swimming pool.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
What is the deepest measurement of any any body of water anywhere in the word?
deepest water anywhere
What nuance is heavy water?
Without color, as the light water.
Does the color of light affect how it appears in water?
no
