Sunlight interacting with the Earth's atmosphere makes the sky blue. In outer space the astronauts see blackness because outer space has no atmosphere.
<span>Sunlight consists of light waves of varying wavelengths, each of which is seen as a different color. The minute particles of matter and molecules of air in the atmosphere intercept and scatter the white light of the sun. A larger portion of the blue color in white light is scattered, more so than any other color because the blue wavelengths are the shortest. </span><span>When the size of atmospheric particles are smaller than the wavelengths of the colors, selective scattering occurs-the particles only scatter one color and the atmosphere will appear to be that color. Blue wavelengths especially are affected, bouncing off the air particles to become visible.</span><span>This is why the sun looks yellow from Earth (yellow equals white minus blue). In space, the sun appears white because there is nothing in between to scatter its white light. </span><span>At sunset, the sky changes color because as the sun drops to the horizon, sunlight has more atmosphere to pass through and loses more of its blue wavelengths. The orange and red, having the longer wavelengths and making up more of sunlight at this distance, are most likely to be scattered by the air particles. </span><span>The scattering of visible light by atmospheric gases is most correctly called the </span>Tyndall effect<span>, but it is more commonly known to physicists as </span>Rayleigh scattering<span> after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. Rayleigh Scattering is where red, orange, yellow, and green are passed through and blue, indigo, and violet are "scattered" out creating the color.</span><span>Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. </span>
Malaria
Dr. John Gorrie practiced medicine in Florida. He experimented with ways to prevent the spread of malaria. The summer of 1841 was a particularly bad summer for malaria infection. People had not yet realized that malaria was spread by mosquitoes. (That discovery didn't occur till the 1890s.) Dr. Gorrie, noting that malaria was unlikely to occur in colder climates, thought that perhaps cooling the air in the sick rooms of his patients could help them. He started with the idea of using a fan to blow air across a bucket of ice. A rudimentary beginning to air cooling and refrigeration ... but as they say, the rest is history!
I know spices is one of them
The excerpt shows that C. Women were committed to reforming society.
<em>You did not include the excerpt in question but this is the most likely answer. </em>
The Progressive Era in the United States spanned from the late 1800s to the early 1900s and called for:
- More morality
- Efficiency in government
- Better economic policy
- Social reforms and welfare
Women were at the forefront of this movement and supported several causes during this time such as the <em>prohibition of alcohol</em> and the <em>right of women to vote. </em>
We can therefore conclude that women were very much committed to reforming society and were it not for their support, a lot of reforms would not have been passed.
