Re: Why are leaves green?

... if a group manages to survive, the characterisitics of its individuals may propagate and, for them, it is surely good to share. About scattering: both at dawn and at sunset, the bluish part of the spectrum is scattered more than the red-yellowish part (the distance light has to travel ...

Re: Why are leaves green?

... our viewing capabilities. So, why plants have not developed a "better" strategy to absorb solar radiation? I think it is because scattering of light could be a better strategy to share resources and propagate through the earth surface. So, the best strategy for spreading is to ...

lipid optics

... does the solid water become opaque. So it seems that the transparent liquid to opaque solid transition in water is due to repeated diffraction and scattering, leading to reflection. The same thing has to be happening in the wax but I can't figure out molecularly how the phase would effect this. ...
