Which of the following color is the ocean?(a) Black(b) Orange(c) Blue(d) RedThis question was addressed to me in class test.The query is from Ray Optics in division Ray Optics and Optical Instruments of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) BLUE

The best I can explain: The Ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red PART of the LIGHT spectrum. LIKE a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. So, the blue color of the ocean is due to the preferential scattering of light by water molecules.
