Light waves can be reflected / scattered, absorbed, refracted, or transmitted to pass through matter unchanged and different materials will have different effects in these encounters; high energy light waves get scattered in our atmosphere from encounters with dust,
water vapour, molecules, etc. as the white light hits the rough surface
composed of these, so we have a blue sky for example, while the longer IR gets absorbed by
water and earth, on a smooth surface such as
glass or still
water these high energy lights get reflected, angle
of incidence equal to, and some pass through to get reflected or scattered at the next surface, think rainbow.
