1. The blue colour of water in the sea is due to A.Absorption of other colours except blue by water molecules B.Scattering of blue light by water molecules C.Reflection of blue light by impurities in sea water D.Reflection of blue sky by sea water
Option A Solution: The ocean is blue because water absorbs colours in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colours in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. The ocean may also take on green, red, or other hues as light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water.
