ప్రపంచము లో కొన్ని విషయాలే మనకు తెలుసు . తెలియనివి ఇంకా ఎన్నో మిగిలే ఉంటాయి. ఆ విషయం తెలుసుకున్న తర్వాత ఇంతేనా? అని అనిపిస్తుంది. ప్రతివ్యక్తికి అన్నివిషయాలు తెలియాలని ఏమీలేదు . తెలియవుకూడా. ఇప్పుడు ఈ క్రింది విషయం చదవండి మీకు తెలుసునేమో?...
Sunlight penetrate in the Seawater on average is 80 meters.
Light Penetration. --- A certain amount of incoming light is reflected away when it reaches the ocean surface, depending upon the state of the water itself. If it is calm and smooth, less light will be reflected.
If it is turbulent, with many waves, more light will be reflected. The light that penetrates the surface is refracted due to the fact that light travels faster in air than in water. Once it is within the water, light may be scattered or absorbed by solid particles. Most of the visible light spectrum is absorbed within 10 meters (33 feet) of the water's surface, and almost none penetrates below 150 meters (490 feet) of water depth, even when the water is very clear.
Greater abundances of solid particles in the water will decrease the depth of light penetration. Therefore, water near the seashore that is more turbid (cloudy) due to particles will show a decrease in light transmission, even in shallow water. This is due to large numbers of particles brought in by river systems, and biological production by microorganisms , as well as waves, tides, and other water movement picking up debris on the ocean floor.
