Anyone interested in biotech stocks will know that it could be challenging to pick winners in this âhigh risk - high returnsâ industry which is constantly growing and changing. Companies which hit the bullâs eye become overnight success stories with shares even doubling or tripling on positive news.
Particles that are small compared with the light wavelength scatter blue light more strongly than red light. Because of this, the tiny gas molecules that make up our Earthâs atmosphere (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) scatter the blue portion of sunlight in all directions, creating an effect that we see as a blue sky. Within the visible range of light, red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules.
The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. Same reason the sky is blue.. In other words, the color of the ocean and the color of the sky are related but occur independently of each other: in both cases, the preferential absorption of long-wavelength (reddish) light gives rise to the blue.
