  2. Color of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water

    The same water in a smaller bucket looks only slightly cyan, [1] and observing the water at close range makes it appear colorless to the naked eye. The intrinsic color of liquid water may be demonstrated by looking at a white light source through a long pipe that is filled with purified water and closed at both ends with a transparent window.

  3. Cyanopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanopsia

    The primary causes include post-cataract surgery, certain medications, and, less commonly, neurological or ophthalmological conditions. Post-cataract surgery is a common cause, as replacing the natural lens with a synthetic one increases exposure to blue light, leading to temporary blue-tinted vision. This effect usually resolves as the eye adapts.

  4. Eye color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

    The irises of human eyes exhibit a wide spectrum of colours. Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic trait determined by two factors: the pigmentation of the eye's iris [1] [2] and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris. [3]: 9

  5. Optical phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phenomenon

    Common optical phenomena are often due to the interaction of light from the Sun or Moon with the atmosphere, clouds, water, dust, and other particulates. One common example is the rainbow , when light from the Sun is reflected and refracted by water droplets.

  6. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    A phosphene is the perception of light without light actually entering the eye, for instance caused by pressure applied to the closed eyes. A phenomenon that could be entoptical if the eyelashes are considered to be part of the eye is seeing light diffracted through the eyelashes.

  9. Bioluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescence

    Bioluminescence is abundant in the pelagic zone, with the most concentration at depths devoid of light and surface waters at night. These organisms participate in diurnal vertical migration from the dark depths to the surface at night, dispersing the population of bioluminescent organisms across the pelagic water column.
