Currently Playing: How Does Rayleigh Scattering ACTUALLY Work? (The Blue Sky)

There are bunch of videos out there explaining why the sky is blue, but let's go a little deeper into the optics. Why does color matter? What's a vibrational resonance? What's actually happening on the subatomic level? ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Why isn't EVERYTHING a Mirror? https://youtu.be/1n_otIs6z6E Where Does Light Come From? https://youtu.be/3TufSRaHB6g The Color White Does NOT Exist: https://youtu.be/-E6dxybpUvo ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS MinutePhysics on the Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/NafbGOQBlQs https://youtu.be/R5P6O0pDyMU Veritasium on the Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/ro2MmmdARrs This Place on the Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/F_9Qip7mBC4 SciShow on the Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/_Yli-yvNy-k ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ScienceAsylum Advanced Theoretical Physics (Paperback): http://www.lulu.com/shop/nick-lucid/advanced-theoretical-physics-a-historical-perspective/paperback/product-24250687.html Advanced Theoretical Physics (eBook): https://gumroad.com/l/ubSc Merchandise: https://www.scienceasylum.com ________________________________ HUGE THANK YOU TO THESE PATRONS Warden of the Asylum: YDT Asylum Counselors: Matthew O'Connor Asylum Orderlies: William Morton, Fabio Manzini Einsteinium Crazies: Albert B.
