物理现象（physical phenomenon） Why is the sky blue? 2005-1-12 reading: 20 times The blue sky and white clouds. In this beautiful scenery, I believe we have the feeling. So why is the sky blue? Why the cloud is white? For this wonderful physical phenomenon, and not everyone can say why. In fact, this beautiful scene we see is the air molecules in the sky, water, sunlight and other particles, the result of joint action. First, the air and the sunlight In order to explain this phenomena, first understand some simple knowledge of the air and the sunlight. The air is outside of the earth wrapped a layer of body armor, protecting life on earth from ultraviolet radiation. The air is not empty, is composed of many particles. 99% of them are nitrogen and oxygen, the rest are other gases (such as carbon dioxide, inert gas, etc.), water droplets and dust sources, to the plant in the wind blowing sand, volcano rock dust particles floating. But the air component is not fixed, it depends on the location, weather and other fixed factors (such as forest, sea, volcano and pollution is serious or not). Light is a way to spread the energy in electromagnetic waves, in a vacuum and the spread speed is 300 thousand kilometers per second. Light and other waves (such as acoustic) is different with the wave particle like two. This is because the light is composed of one photon particles without mass, so the light not only has the characteristic of wave, and the properties of particles. The size of light transmission and light energy is proportional to the frequency, and the frequency of light just determines its color. But our eyes can only see the specific frequency range of light, called visible light (UV), high frequency and low (infrared), we can see. In the light of the sun, Newton first found three prism which contains red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple 7 colors. You can use a small experiment (Fig. 1) can be observed colorful sun. Take the glass jar filled with water on t
