The sky is blue because of refraction. Sunsets and sunrise are so beautiful because of refraction. If there was no refraction, we would see the sky as a black expanse.

One possible explanation for the sudden appearance of purple lights in the sky could be the occurrence of a natural phenomenon such as an aurora borealis or a rare atmospheric event causing the refraction of light in a way that produces purple hues.


How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?

Increasing the medium's index of refraction will cause the angle of refraction to decrease. This is because light bends more towards the normal as it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction.

How does the index of refraction affect frequency?

The index of refraction does not affect the frequency of light. Frequency is determined by the source of the light and remains constant as light travels through different mediums with varying indexes of refraction. The only property that is affected by the index of refraction is the speed of light.

The sky's blue color is caused by?

The sky's blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering, in which shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer wavelengths by molecules and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This results in blue light being dispersed in all directions, giving the sky its blue appearance.
