The violet and blue parts of the solar spectrum are dispersed most, and this leads to the characteristic "blue sky" as seen from Earth's surface in the daytime.

Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?

Yes, some ultraviolet (UV) waves can penetrate Earth's atmosphere. However, the ozone layer in the stratosphere filters out much of the harmful UV radiation, particularly the most dangerous UV-C waves. UV-A and UV-B waves are partially absorbed by the atmosphere but can still reach the Earth's surface.


What waves have the most light waves?

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.


What waves have the most light energy?

visible light


What color of light is scattered the most by the molecules in Earth's atmosphere?

Blue light is scattered the most by the molecules in Earth's atmosphere.


What is rayleigh scattering?

Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. This scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky during the day and the red and orange hues of sunrise and sunset. The shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, are scattered more easily by the particles in the atmosphere, leading to the sky's blue appearance.


What is a polarimeter most commonly used for?

Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of transverse waves. The most common polarimetry waves are electromagnetic waves (e.g. radio or light waves).


What electromagnetic radiations are blocked by the atmosphere?

The Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, as well as certain infrared wavelengths. This is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation. Most radio waves, visible light, and some infrared and ultraviolet radiation are able to pass through the atmosphere.


What color light is most commonly associated with creating a calming atmosphere?

The color light most commonly associated with creating a calming atmosphere is blue.


When light waves strike a blue object what happens to the light waves of all colors?

When light waves strike a blue object, the object absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum except for blue. Blue light waves are reflected off the object, giving it its blue color.


Where do most of the visible electromagnetic waves on earth come from?

Most of the visible electromagnetic waves on Earth come from the Sun. Sunlight is a combination of different wavelengths of light, with the visible spectrum being one of them. When sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere, it scatters and illuminates our planet, making objects visible to our eyes.


What are the most visible electromagnetic waves on earth?

The most visible electromagnetic waves on Earth are visible light. This type of electromagnetic radiation is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Visible light is responsible for the colors we see in the world around us.


Can visible light go through the Earth Atmosphere?

The atmoshere can stop the gamma ray but the half of the atmosphere that gets hit by the gamma ray will be destroyed. Chemicals in the gamma ray will eat the ozone and destroy the atmosphere leaving the earth unprotected against the suns U-V rays.
