Why is the sea blue and the waves white?

Rocks pierce the air, waves crash on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow ...... rolledThis is the famous sentence in the famous article of the Northern Song Dynasty writer Su Shi "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia", the "snow" mentioned here is of course not the real snow, but the waves splashed by the river on the rocks by the river, because it looks white, so it is compared to "snow" by Su Shi. But we all know that water is colorless and transparent, so why are the waves white?

Have the students ever broken the glass in their lives? The glass is as colorless and transparent as water, but when we sweep the broken glass together, we will find that the glass slag piled together is a crystal white piece. The smaller the glass breaks, the more noticeable the white color becomes.

This is because transparent objects such as glass and water can not only transmit light, but also reflect some of the light, and when many pieces of broken glass are piled together, layers of irregular glass shards can refract the light. After being refracted many times in the pile of broken glass, the light will be refracted or diffused again from different directions, and this light will reach our eyes, making the broken glass appear white. In the same way, waves and even snowflakes appear white because of the complex internal structure that causes this change in light.

The blue sea is because the sky is like the surface of the water.

The spray is white because the light enters your eyes through the water, and the sea water is almost transparent.

The sea is blue and formed due to the refraction of the sky, and you can see why when you go to sixth grade.

This is because the sea water is colorless, and the blue color of the sea water is reflected from the sky.

First of all, the reason why the sea water is blue is because the sun shines on the sea surface, so it shows the blue sea surface, but the sea water is actually white, so the waves are white.

Because water has no color, sunlight shining on the color of the sea will make the waves white.

Answer]: A wave is mainly composed of bubbles and some small water droplets, the surface of the bubbles is a water film, and the small water droplets are like some small prisms; When light shines on bubbles and water droplets, it is reflected and refracted on their surfaces. The late line of the light hall that is refracted into the bubbles and water droplets will touch the surface of the surrounding bubbles and water droplets when it is shot out, and will be reflected and refracted again.

Eventually, the light is refracted and reflected many times, and then reflected from all different directions. And because the surface of the bubbles and water droplets has almost equal opportunities to reflect light of various colors, it is not a selective reflection, so the spray is white in the daylight.

The spray is like shattered glass, and it also makes the light change again and again, so it looks white.

The water in the sea is high in salt, and the waves are prone to white turbidity.

Because the water of the sea is salty and salty, the water rolling will show.

It may be because the water in the sea is high in salt, and the waves are prone to white and turbid.

Because it is a small splash, it is white.

Because of the light, the sea is black on a cloudy day.
