As used as a basis, then water can have no colour, colours we see in water are but adaptations of the physical surroundings of the water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905061515492080035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840985738235902482.post-31581229547368271182013-05-03T12:35:56.884-04:002013-05-03T12:35:56.884-04:00I think that your friend Dennis needs to take a re...I think that your friend Dennis needs to take a refresher course. The official definition of water is, "a clear, colorless liquid". Pure water is both "clear" meaning that a photon propagates through along a straight, unperturbed path, and "colorlessless" meaning that a photo does not lose any of its intrinsic energy as it passes through the medium.<br /><br />That said, your other references describe different states of matter. Clear water illuminated by a blue sky appears blue, clear water filled with algae appears green, clear water transformed into ice crystals appears white and opaque because snow is no longer clear. Solid ice, made from pure water appears blue because of defects in the crystal lattice that redirect the short-wavelength photons back to our eyes.<br /><br />By the way, I see your figure of an ink film does not show (at least on my monitor) the path of 4 photons but the paths of 4 darkons (black lines on a dark background). The darkon theory of electromagnetic propagation is very intriguing. It was brought to us by the same folks who want us to belief that the square root of -1 is equal to "-j" instead "i". In the darkon theory, energy is not propagate forward onto an object but is in fact, extracted from objects, a sort of super 2nd Law of Thermodynamics where all of the energy of the universe being sucked into a source of all chaos.<br /><br />But even in the more conventional theory of photon theory of light propagation, your 4th photon does not get "gobbled" up by a molecule - the would represent the destruction of both energy and matter, which violates a law much sterner than Rayleigh. No he is not gobbled up but inticed into a den of iniquity where he enables the molecule to perform her shimmy dance and then he is leaves the molecule, a poorer but hopefully wiser little photon, left to warm the soul of the dark, cold universe.<br /><br />DannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
