  2. Color of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water

    For this reason, heavy water does not absorb red light and thus large bodies of D 2 O would lack the characteristic cyan color of the more commonly found light water (1 H 2 O). [4] Absorption intensity decreases markedly with each successive overtone, resulting in very weak absorption for the third overtone.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_color

    Ocean color is the branch of ocean optics that specifically studies the color of the water and information that can be gained from looking at variations in color. The color of the ocean , while mainly blue, actually varies from blue to green or even yellow, brown or red in some cases. [ 1 ]

    RYB (red, yellow, blue) is the traditional set of primary colors used for mixing pigments. It is used in art and art education, particularly in painting. It predated modern scientific color theory. Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors of the RYB color "wheel". The secondary colors, violet (or purple), orange, and green (VOG) make up ...

  5. Chromophore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromophore

    Leaves change color in the fall because their chromophores (chlorophyll molecules) break down and stop absorbing red and blue light. [1] A chromophore is a molecule which absorbs light at a particular wavelength and reflects color as a result. Chromophores are commonly referred to as colored molecules for this reason.

  6. Photic zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_zone

    Water is very effective at absorbing incoming light, so the amount of light penetrating the ocean declines rapidly (is attenuated) with depth. At one metre depth only 45% of the solar energy that falls on the ocean surface remains. At 10 metres depth only 16% of the light is still present, and only 1% of the original light is left at 100 metres.

  8. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Color absorption is also affected by turbidity of the water and dissolved material. Water preferentially absorbs red light, and to a lesser extent, yellow, green and violet light, so the color that is least absorbed by water is blue light. [ 3 ]
