  2. Ocean color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_color

    Ocean color is the branch of ocean optics that specifically studies the color of the water and information that can be gained from looking at variations in color. The color of the ocean , while mainly blue, actually varies from blue to green or even yellow, brown or red in some cases. [ 1 ]

  3. Ocean optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_optics

    The color of the water as seen by satellites is known as ocean color. While ocean color is a key theme of ocean optics, optics is a broader term that also includes the development of underwater sensors using optical methods to study much more than just color, including ocean chemistry, particle size, imaging of microscopic plants and animals ...

  4. Titanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium

    The concentration of titanium is about 4 picomolar in the ocean. At 100 °C, the concentration of titanium in water is estimated to be less than 10 −7 M at pH 7. The identity of titanium species in aqueous solution remains unknown because of its low solubility and the lack of sensitive spectroscopic methods, although only the 4+ oxidation ...

  5. Color of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water

    While relatively small quantities of water appear to be colorless, pure water has a slight blue color that becomes deeper as the thickness of the observed sample increases. The hue of water is an intrinsic property and is caused by selective absorption and scattering of blue light.

  6. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    Brown or black can be used as a base color for copper patina. If the amount of chlorides decreases the color will be more bluish-green, if carbonate decreases, more yellow-green. [27] Black for copper. Solution of sodium polysulfide 2.5%, items must be submerged in the solution after color developing, wash, dry and wax or varnish colored object ...

  7. Manganese nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese_nodule

    High iron content nodules appear a red or brown color, while high manganese content appears black or grey. [2] The dominant metal oxide is related to the elements enriched in the nodule. In manganese-dominated nodules, enriched elements include barium , strontium , nickel , cobalt , copper , cadmium , lead , and zinc . [ 2 ]

  8. Thermochromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromism

    Typically, the high temperature state will reflect blue-violet, while the low-temperature state will reflect red-orange. Since blue is a shorter wavelength than red, this indicates that the distance of layer spacing is reduced by heating through the liquid-crystal state. Some such materials are cholesteryl nonanoate or cyanobiphenyls.

  9. Water clarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_clarity

    CDOM absorbs blue light more strongly than other colors, shifting the color of the water toward the yellow and red part of the visible light spectrum as the water gets darker. [37] For example, in lakes with high CDOM concentrations, the bottom of the lake may be clearly visible to the human eye, but a white surface in the same lake water may ...
