Q. The blue colour of the water in the Sea is due to-

  • (A) Refraction of the blue light by the impurities in the Sea water
  • (B) Reflection of blue sky by Sea Water
  • (C) Absorption of other colours except the blue colour by water molecules
  • (D) Scattering of blue light by water molecules
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Absorption of other colours except the blue colour by water molecules
Explanation:

Water molecules absorb light at the red end of the spectrum more strongly than at the blue end. As a result, the red, orange, and yellow wavelengths are absorbed, while the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered and transmitted, making the sea appear blue.

Water molecules absorb light at the red end of the spectrum more strongly than at the blue end. As a result, the red, orange, and yellow wavelengths are absorbed, while the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered and transmitted, making the sea appear blue.
