Compute the fraction of each wavelength that survives

Reference no: EM13339060

For red light (lamda = 0.64um), ni in pure water is approx 1.3 x 10^-8; for blue light (lamda = 0.48um), ni is approx 1.0x10^-9. The deep end of a typical home swimming pool is approx 2.5m deep. Compute the fraction of each wavelength that survives the two-way trip to the bottom of the pool and back, when illuminated (and viewed) from directly above. In light of your findings and in view of the appearance of most swimming pools as seen from the air, comment on the common assumption that water is "colorless"
