As soon as sunlight reaches Earth’s atmosphere, gases and particles scatter it all around in all directions – blue light being scattered more widely than other hues; hence why the sky appears blue. Irish scientist John Tyndall first demonstrated this principle in 1859 by passing a beam of white light through a liquid with floating…
Infantrymen wear a light blue cord around their right shoulder as a symbol of their connection to the branch; this cord is known as a fourrager. Only soldiers and officers with an infantry military occupational specialty (MOS 11A and those who complete infantry One Station Unit Training) may wear the cord. This includes recruits completing…
The sky is blue due to how light is scattered by our atmosphere. Sunlight contains all visible frequencies; however, only certain ones are absorbed or reflected back; leaving behind other frequencies to be dispersed into blue and cyan hues of the spectrum. Some languages provide specific terminology to distinguish different hues of blue and green;…
Sunlight may appear colorless, but its makeup consists of different wavelengths which combine to form what we perceive as white light. White light contains all of the colors from the rainbow including red, orange, yellow, green blue indigo and violet hues. As sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, it encounters gas molecules and is scattered all…
Sunlight from Earth passes through Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered by gas molecules, producing many different patterns of illumination. Red, orange and yellow wavelengths pass directly through the atmosphere while blue-tinged wavelengths such as violet get strongly dispersed into other directions. Your eyes see the sky as blue due to certain physical processes; let’s discuss…
The Sky Blue Song can be heard at every Coventry City match and has become synonymous with our club following escapes from relegation, the League Two Play-Off Final and triumphs over Colchester United – but how did it begin? Jimmy Hill and Club Director John Camkin wrote the song together in 1962 and traveled around…
Many people mistakenly believe that the sky’s color comes from reflecting off of oceans; this may partially be true but more accurately the sky takes its blue hue from long wavelengths of light absorbed by water bodies. Water molecules absorb reds, oranges and yellows more readily while reflecting back blue wavelengths onto surfaces that then…
As sunsets and sunrises approach, the sky often turns from blue to red as more atmospheric particles pass through as sunlight descends towards its point of origin. As soon as sunlight enters our atmosphere, it is scattered all across it by atmospheric gases and particles, with blue light being more heavily scattered due to shorter…
An engaging article can enlighten and educate your target audience, as well as drive traffic to your website and convert customers. Isaac Newton proved with his prism that white light contains all of the colors visible spectrum, yet each hue has its own wavelength: violet and blue wavelengths are shorter while red’s have longer ones….
