Whatever the color of the substance is, that's the light wave that is reflected most. So the ocean would mostly be green and blue. However black means no light is reflected, so the darker the less reflected.
Light waves: when light hits a smooth surface, it can be reflected. Sound waves: sound can bounce off hard surfaces such as walls, resulting in reflection. Water waves: waves in the ocean or a pond can be reflected off a barrier or shore.
Ocean water appears blue because it absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum and reflects blue light. This happens because water molecules absorb longer wavelengths of light, like red and orange, while shorter wavelengths, like blue, are scattered and reflected back to our eyes.
Yes. Everything you see is the light reflecting off of the object you see. So when you see yourself in water that the light bouncing off your face onto the water and back to your eyes.
Light is internally reflected in a raindrop because of the difference in the refractive index between air and water. When light enters the water droplet at a certain angle, it bends due to the change in medium. If the angle is just right, the light is reflected internally off the surface of the droplet and then refracted again when it exits, creating a rainbow.
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.
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.

Has to do with reflected light, its wavelength, and how water effects it. Red light cannot travel as deep in water as green or blue. Therefor, when a red fish goes deeper the needed RED LIGHT cannot reach it and will not be reflected off the fish. SO! It looks black because it is REFLECTING no color. Thats what color is... reflected light.
Approximately 1% of light energy is converted to chemical energy in the ocean through photosynthesis by marine plants and algae. The rest of the light energy is reflected, refracted, or absorbed by the water.

The ocean is blue due to the way that light enters the atmosphere. The spectrum (Rainbow effect) refracts the light and the light is blue this light is reflected of the ocean to make it look blue. this mixed with the depth enables the sea to look blue.
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).

The reflected light will be partially polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence. This is due to the Brewster's angle effect, where light polarized in the plane of incidence is fully transmitted into the water, leaving the reflected light to be partially polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
