Water color

Water color 

 Water - say it is colorless. Then why are we so attracted by the ideal turquoise waters in the Maldives and sullen gray repels water during a storm?

What color is water? This question is asked not only children but adults as well, and the answer - the water there is no color. It is transparent and clear. But the correct answer it?

 Look at this cute glass of water. With the exception of fish, the water is colorless, right? No, not so. Water has a color, just the human eye is not given to catch him.

To see the true color of water, we must look at the big pond.

 This can be done in a scientific way, but the human eye can see rainbow color of the water under the right conditions.

You've already guessed what this color? Yes, it is light blue, light blue or turquoise. Now think about why you came to mind this color? Because it reflects the sky on the surface of a large body of water, such as the sea?

But when the day is cloudy, why the color remains the same or even more crowded?

 It is true that the reflection of light affects the color of the water, but only when its surface is practically immobile. This photo was taken in Los Cabos, Mexico, and it demonstrates a calm and serene sea - the blue. Red - a reflection, not the color of water.

 The brightness of the color depends on the angle at which we look at the water, which in scientific language is the angle of installation. Simply put, it depends on how many degrees you are remote from the water. The higher the angle, the blue water of the reflection. And all because the reflectivity of water is higher in direct relation to the angle of installation. Water can be quickly reflectivity under these conditions.

 Of course, what is in the water, plays an important role in its color. In these saline lakes full of algae, USA. Pink blooms. No, this is not true that the water is so low pH, when the flamingos have tried to land there, it just melted. In all the "blame" a large number of micro-algae Dunaliella salina.

 Usually associated with algae green, and it certainly changes the color of water. But it can do and people. Chicagoans often change the color of water in their river green on St. Patrick's Day.

 The greatness of the deep blue sea in Montserrat. Most of the color comes from the depth of water, rather than reflect on the surface of the sun. White sun's rays contain all the colors in the spectrum. Water absorbs these colors, but some of them it absorbs better than others. But this requires a "company". In other words, grab a cup of sea water, and it will seem transparent, but it's worth it to pour back into the sea, and she joins the infinite molecules of H2O, becoming blue.

 Sea water also can absorb infrared light, but because the sea is not red. But water is not completely absorbs the color blue, so that this color is transmitted through the water. Since it is not absorbed, we believe the water is blue.

Yes, this principle applies to the sky and its blueness.

Ferries off the coast of the Maldives in the sea, among its multicolored. If you've ever been in the pool with whitewashed sides and bottom, you notice that water seems to turquoise. Even if there is no light, which can be reflected.

So it's all about the outside world - the best color of the water can be seen from above. And this beautiful picture shows this well.

 In terms of the visible spectrum, red and blue - additional colors. Thus, we see blue when looking at how the color goes through the water at depth. The lower we go down, the more saturated the color blue.

 When divers use a flashlight, there are "real" color, but everything else seems far away the blue, even if in reality it is not.

 This color can be seen in deep snow or ice. In the same way, it is possible to contemplate on the frozen waterfalls - almost blue-green hue.

We also see the color may run what's in the water. Sometimes, lost in thought looking at the sea, you will notice that it is in different places in different colors. This great shot from the Maldives shows raznotsvetie Sea. It can be caused by the presence of clouds and their shadows, but often not the case (especially on cloudless days). It comes from the fact that he was at sea, not above it.

 Usually, the oceans and lakes contain many particles in the water. This combination of dirt and dead plants and animals. Living organisms also because of its size, can alter the way we perceive the color of water. When water can not absorb a lot of blue color, it affects these elements in water, and blue light is reflected back up. Tropical waters and, say, the Atlantic differ from each other, because in the tropics color comes from the absorption of red color, leaving us only see blue.

In this extraordinary wave can be seen all the colors of the water off the coast of Guadeloupe. Water in the Atlantic, by contrast, has a blue tinge, caused by the suspension of countless plants and animals and partly dirt.
 

Why are some bodies of water are not blue? Some black or gray or even brown. Again, it depends on what is absorbed by water. The turbidity of waste water can be explained by scientific methods. Dirt reflects more red than blue, so that when water is present in the dirt, it turns brown. 

 Lake full of peat will look black, because peat absorbs all the light vertically, which falls on him. On a cloudy day, the sea seems gray and, yes, it kind of depends on the sky. It is also because the cloud filtered red light from the sun before it reaches the water. 

 We see water in different statuses. It can be colored particles, the presence of bacteria or a reflection of the world on the water surface. Ice and snow can produce a deep rich blue, like a waterfall Multnomah in Oregon. Water itself is blue, which was the result of molecular structure and its behavior.

Here one can clearly see the color blue, when a pair of climbers conquer the mountain in Banff National Park in Canada.

 Of course, the waters in Banff National Park, known for its turquoise color. All thanks to the particles of rocks in the melting glaciers. Moraine Lake is known for his incredible blue, from which almost brings the eye.

If you want to look at the natural color of the water, it can be done at virtually no cost. Take a long tube of pure water. So that the water does not leak when you look at it, close every hole with glass.

If you look down through the first "window" on a piece of paper illuminated by sunlight, you'll see a pale blue color of water.
