The beam is visible from the blue light it scatters from the side, but the light seen from the end turns red after it passes through the reservoir. Red light is the wavelength of light through which light is likely to travel most effectively, which ultimately overcomes diffused blue light better. 




In fact, more magenta light comes from the atmosphere than blue, but there is also a mixture of other colors: Shorter wavelengths (magenta and blue) are scattered more than other colors, so more blue light is scattered to our eyes than other colors. You might be wondering why the sky doesn't actually look purple as purple light is more likely to be scattered twice or more over long distances, leaving colors yellow, red, and orange.

Clouds and dust appear white because they are composed of particles larger than the wavelength of light, which scatter all wavelengths evenly (Mie scattering). Aerosols of plant-based terpenes react with ozone in the atmosphere to form small particles about 200 nm in diameter, which scatters blue light evenly. A forest fire or volcanic eruption can sometimes fill the atmosphere with small particles 500-800 nm in diameter, which scatters red light just right. In the lower atmosphere, 

In fact, light scattering at 400 nm (magenta) is 9.4 times more than light scattering at 700 nm (red). The tiny invisible particles that make up our atmosphere scatter light of all wavelengths but scatter light at shorter wavelengths in a much more efficient way. Since all these molecules are much shorter than the wavelength of light itself, the longer the wavelength of light the better the dispersion. 

These shorter wavelengths correspond to shades of blue, which is why we see the sky in blue when we look at the ocean - because it reflects the sky, even if I believed it a few years ago - some people think that the sky is blue because sunlight comes from the ocean and then back into the sky. 

LET US UNDERSTAND THIS BY A IMAGE



If you have ever played with a prism or seen a rainbow, you know that light is made up of different colors. This means that invisible waves that cause sunburn, allow us to warm up leftover food and make us listen to radio are all forms of light. Sunlight is actually energy, which is a special mixture of many colors or wavelengths of light, but what you actually see is a certain color bouncing off or emitted from that object. 

Sunlight travels in a straight line without scattering, and all colors remain together. When white light passes through a prism, the light is split into all colors; the sky is blue because the air spreads the blue light of the sun across the sky and up to our eyes for this reason, the tiny gas molecules that make up the earth's atmosphere scatter the blue part of sunlight in all directions, creating an effect we see as blue skies. 

In the visible light range, red light waves are less scattered by atmospheric gas molecules, however, the strongest visible light in the incident solar spectrum is in the green region rather than in blue - the wavelength of blue light is about 65% of the wavelength of red light - so that under normal conditions blue light is scattered about six times more than red light. 

Sunlight, scattering more into thicker regions of the atmosphere, would change the number of blue wavelengths in those regions, making it less blue, because sunlight passes through a thicker layer of our atmosphere, allowing more red light to pass through and illuminate the clouds with a beautiful shade of reds, oranges, and pinks. Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered by all gases and particles in the air in all directions. 



When they are illuminated by the sun, raindrops act like tiny prisms bending the light and dividing it into different colors. What sets one type of light apart from others is its wavelength or its range of wavelengths. 

When white light from the sun enters the earth’s atmosphere, most of the wavelengths of red, yellow, and green light (mixed together and still close to white) pass directly through the atmosphere and reach our eyes. To understand why the sky is blue, we must first understand a little light. When we look away from the sun at any point in the sky, we can only see the light moving from the atmosphere to our line of sight. 

Because blue light occurs more frequently than red light, the sky looks blue, but most of the sunlight entering the atmosphere is blue rather than magenta. Our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than magenta, so the sky looks blue. Colored. Red light waves that pass through the atmosphere without being highly scattered reach our eyes, while highly scattered blue light waves do not. 

THIS IS LIGHT SCATTERING



This is due to the properties of light, in which light is composed of waves of different lengths. Sunlight, which scatters the gases and air particles that make up the atmosphere, separates these waves and scatters blue waves in the sky. How light waves are scattered is highly dependent on the size of the particle relative to the wavelength of the light, and this dispersion depends on the size of the particles or molecules and the wavelength of the incident light. 

Rayleigh's results show that long wavelengths of sunlight (red) are less efficiently scattered by small particles of air in our atmosphere than shorter wavelengths (blue). Since red light has a wavelength (700 nm) about 1.7 times longer than blue light (400 nm), this scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (form of which is light) by particles with much shorter wavelengths.
