Why does a glass of water appear to have no color but the ocean is a deep blue color?
Color depends on reflected light, in most cases that reflected light is blue. Now bear in mind that it takes an extreme amount of water and light for our eyes to pick up on that reflected light. Is a glass of water sitting in the sun reflecting blue? Yes, but it's too minute for us to pick up on it. By the same token, fill two identical glasses, one with tap water and one with ocean water, set them side by side in the sun, and you won't be able to tell any difference...even though you KNOW the ocean water is reflecting blue (as is the tap water).
What else can I help you with?
When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of .?
Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a glass of iced tea, causing it to condense into liquid water droplets on the outside of the glass.
Can sea glass melt in water?
No, sea glass is already a product of the glass melting process. It is formed when glass bottles or objects are discarded in the ocean, broken into pieces, and then tumbled by the waves and sand over many years to create its smooth, frosted appearance.
How long would it take a drop of food coloring to color a glass of still water with sugar in it?
The time it takes for a drop of food coloring to color a glass of still water with sugar in it depends on factors such as the amount of water, concentration of food coloring, and mixing. In general, it can take a few minutes to fully disperse and color the water evenly.
What does glass do in sea water?
Sea glass left in salt water does not do a whole lot. Since clear glass is composed of soda-lime, it is possible that leaching could occur. However, even very old glass found in salt water still has a shiny surface if not subjected to physical contact with other objects. If the glass is subjected to physical contact with other materials, however, chipping will occur. This usually is a result of oscillations in the water, most noticeable in beach glass or sea glass, that is glass found on beaches between mean high and low tide lines where the most tumbling from waves occurs. This results in a "frosted" look from the minute chips caused by tumbling with small rocks and sand. This, of course, is not a chemical reaction but from the physical contact with other objects. A chemical reaction can occur when exposed to sunlight, for example, on the beach. Other ingredients in the glass (minerals for color, or impurities) can change color when subjected to ultraviolet rays over a period of time. This, however, is not due to the water and is not the basically glass itself that is affected.

Salt water does not change the color of or?
Salt water does not change the color of an object. However, if an object is fully submerged in salt water, it may appear slightly magnified due to the way light refracts through the water.
Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?
This is condensation.
Why do some oceans appear blue while others appear green?
The color of the ocean appears blue or green based on the amount of phytoplankton and the depth of the water. Oceans with less phytoplankton and deeper water tend to appear blue, while those with more phytoplankton and shallower water tend to appear green.
Why does the ocean appear blue in color?
The ocean appears blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while reflecting and scattering blue light. This causes the ocean to look blue to our eyes.
What is the body of water in the pacific ocean?
The color reflects the sky color but water is actually clear.
When water droplets appear on the Outsids of a glass this is an example of?
Condensation.
What is color of the water?
The water looks colorless when in small quantities but it has actually a very slight blue hue to it. This can be tested with a glass of water and a filled bathtub: the former will appear colorless while the latter will be faint blue.
What color is the ocean water in Canada?
bleu
Why are the oceans different colors?
The oceans appear different colors due to the way water absorbs and scatters sunlight. Blue light is absorbed by water molecules, making the ocean appear blue. Other factors like depth, sediment, and algae can also affect the color of the water.
Why are some oceans blue and others grey?
The ocean, or the water in the ocean, is actually colorless. They reflect the color of the sky above them so a blue ocean means the sky is mostly blue while a grey ocean means that the sky is grey or cloudy.
What happens if you place a drop of food coloring in a glass of water?
When you put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water, the water will turn that color.
Why does food coloring color a glass of hot water quicker than a glass of cold water?
because of a chemical reaction that causes the cup to melt a little and the color soaks in.
Why does objects appear close in water?
because it acts like a magnifying glass
