So water is completely transparent, it doesn't look darker in a glass so why when you tip it on cloth for example the cloth looks darker?
This is not the explanation !mathman said:Water is not completely transparent.
Water makes materials appear dark because of its reflective properties. When light hits the surface of water, it is reflected and refracted, causing the material underneath to appear darker.
Yes, the temperature of the water can affect how dark the material appears. Cold water tends to be clearer and has less impurities, which allows more light to pass through. On the other hand, warm or murky water can have more particles and impurities, resulting in less light being able to pass through and making the material appear darker.
Yes, the depth of the water can affect how dark the material appears. The deeper the water, the more light is absorbed and scattered, making the material appear darker. In shallow water, more light is able to pass through, making the material appear lighter.
Yes, the color of the material can affect how dark it appears in water. Darker colored materials will absorb more light, making them appear darker. Lighter colored materials will reflect more light, making them appear lighter.
Yes, the angle of the light source can affect how dark the material appears in water. When light hits the water at a shallow angle, more light is able to pass through and the material appears lighter. When light hits the water at a steep angle, more light is reflected and the material appears darker.
