why is the Sky Blue?

London Academy
why is the sky blue ?" is a cues
ton which has often been asked, but
never satisfactorily answered. Helm.
holtz offered an explanation which
depended on the reflection of solar
light by the air PARTICLES in the atmos.
phere. These PARTICLES being very
minute would reflect preferably the
shortest waves of light, i. e., blue
waves, while they would allow the
longer waves, corresponding to green
and red light, to pass through them
just as a log of wood floating on the
surface of still water would throw off
the tiny wayelets caused by a falling
drop in its neighborhood, while the
same log in long ocean swells
would be tossed to and fro with
out ~noticeably impeding the progress
OF the waves. DR.. Il. L. Nichols
Philosophical Magazine, December)
has p%ropounded another view, which
has much to recommend 1t. According
to Young and Helmholtz's theory of
color impression, there are in the eve
three sets of nerve-termini, one set
chiefly influenced by the red, another
by the green, the third by the violet
rays. The impression upon the nerve
is not directly proportional to the in
tepsity Of the ray, the different nerve
termlni being suhiecttO different laws
For very feeble rays the violet
nerves are very sensitive, while the
green" and red" nerves scarcely see
at all. As the light increases in in
tensity the red and green nerves
increase in activity, while the
violet nerves become tired
and dazzled. For rays Of
dazzling brilliancy, the red" nerves
are IN their most sensitive condition.
Thus, of the simple %colors, as the
brightness increases, red and green
change to yellow, blue becomes white.
Daylight,a at ordinary intensities, affects
the three sets Of nerve -termini equally:
the resultant impression Is yhiteness.
Now, daylight is simply the light of
the sun weakened by manifold difuse
reflections. The direct rays of the
sun, as We let them fall on any color
less object, appear also a white light /;
but on attempting at noon, on a clear
day, to gaze into the SUMS face.
the impression is Of binding vel
low. 1t is not that the direct
rays differ in composition from DIFF
fuse daylight, but that the violet
nerves can not transmit the
action Of such strong light. The
moon, With enormously less illuminat-
ing power than the sun, seems bright.
and is far brighter than the open sky''
In passing from the intensity of the
moons rays to those reaching us from
a corresponding bit of the open sky we
may, perhaps, take a step as great as
that between the brightness OF the sun
and moon. In general, white light
will appear bluer and bluer as its in.
tensity diminishes, and this law will
apply to the skies; as the light they re.
fect becomes fainter and fainter they
will increase in blueness, even though
the light by the process of reflection
suffer no change in composition,
