Do clouds and bubbles look white for the same reason?

Question

Would you help me? My head is messed up right now.

1) Bubbles are white because of the diffuse reflection. The ambient light is almost always white light, so the bubbles end up looking.

2) White is the combination of all the colors of the visible light spectrum.

3) The Mie theory explaines the reason clouds look white (although I do not understand it well).

4) The sunlight contains the visible spectrum.

Answer 1

Bubbles are just reflecting light.  If you shined a red light on them instead in a dark room, they'd look red.

When you mix all the colors of paint together, you get muddy brown/ black.  When you mix all the colors of light together, you get white.  When you break white light - like light from the Sun - in a prism, you see all the colors again.

Mie scattering refers to light scattering off particles - in this case water particles - that appears white, as opposed to Rayleigh scattering, which appears blue (and that's why the sky and ocean look blue).  It makes clouds and ice look white.  The difference between Mie and Rayleigh is in the size of the particle doing the scattering.

Like I said, when you break up the sunlight into it's 'spectrum' (colors), you see all the colors of the rainbow.

Answer 2

yes, its called a color duct. Clouds dont have em, neither do bubbles. whats your question?
