If you take out the fat, the milk will not
scatter as much light; that is probably why skim milk looks the way it does.
Not exact matches
«We needed a very smooth surface that interacts
as little
as possible with a variety of liquids, and we also needed ingredients that mix together very well, because too
much phase separation between ingredients will
scatter light.»
Total levels of nighttime
lighting are straightforward to calculate from satellite images — scientists have done this for decades — but determining how
much «skyglow» all that
light causes
as it
scatters through Earth's atmosphere is a thornier task.
It was difficult to capture an image through thicker samples, such
as a human arm, because too
much light was
scattered back from the tissue.
Shorter wavelengths, such
as blue
light, are
scattered much more than the longer ones.
In this sense, these particles
scatter light much the same
as do oxygen and nitrogen molecules.
Not being absorbed by real world water, visible is not only not capable because of its tiny scale of moving the whole molecule of water into vibration which is what it takes to heat water, but it isn't even able to be absorbed by the electrons of the water molecules
as the electrons of the molecules of air absorb it, so water doesn't reflect /
scatter visible
light on the electrons of molecule level
as does air, but gives up and passes it along, and so, visible is transmitted through, also, unchanged, but
much delayed.
Shorter wavelengths though more energetic does not mean that they are therefore more powerful in penetrating matter, they are
much weaker than the longer waves depending on the make up of the matter
as more likely to get reflected and
scattered because of their tiny size, and here, my point, is that the Solar energy balance graphic is wrong, because it has reversed the properties by giving
Light energies the ability to penetrate and heat matter which is the actual, real, property of Thermal IR.
