Question

With the increase of turbidity, the muddy water appears brown due to the upward radiance peak shift towards:

A.

Green

B.

Red

C.

Yellow

D.

Blue

Correct option is B


As turbidity increases in water, the scattering of light changes, causing a shift in the radiance peak towards longer wavelengths in the visible spectrum. This shift is towards the red part of the spectrum, which is why muddy or highly turbid water often appears brown or reddish. The presence of suspended particles in the water leads to greater scattering of shorter wavelengths (blue and green) and enhances the visibility of longer wavelengths (red).
