When light enters water, it interacts with water molecules which can absorb or scatter light, leading to a change in the color of light. The absorption and scattering properties of water depend on factors such as the wavelength of light and impurities in the water. This interaction can cause specific wavelengths of light to be absorbed more than others, resulting in a shifting of the spectrum transmitted through the water.

Does spectrum occurs through liquids other than water?

yes, oil


Which ray does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Sound waves do not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air or water) to travel through, unlike the electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.


Which color moves slowest through the spectrum?

Colors don't "move through the spectrum". Light of different colors has the same speed in a vacuum. In transparent materials such as glass or water, there are slight differences in speed, but that depends on the materal.


What color water does light travel through fastest?

According to the light spectrum, water should travel through a more violet coloured water the fastest. The speed of light through a medium is not governed by its wavelength, so colour is not a factor.


Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?

Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.


Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?

A continuous spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism. This spectrum contains all the colors of the visible light spectrum seamlessly blended together.

When the sunlight shines through the bevel of the window it produces a spectrum of color.


Do magnets work better under water or through glass?

water!


Why is water clear?

Water is clear because it does not absorb light in the visible spectrum, allowing light to pass through without being scattered or absorbed, making it appear transparent.


Is there such thing as a water spectrum?

It's possible to obtain a spectrum OF water, if that's what you mean. They're usually not horribly interesting, since water is such a simple molecule.


True or false A rainbow is a spectrum of light that appears when the sun shines onto water droplets in the air?

True, or more correctly, when the sunlight is refracted through the water droplets.


What wave is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Sound waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, unlike electromagnetic waves which can travel through a vacuum.
