what is the colour of ice..?

Question

the edges of the ice-cube istransparent and the middle part is white....why...?
snowfall....the colour will be white...why?
plzz.....give me a solid reason for this...

Answer 1

The white part is just frosty air surfaces. The inside of an ice cube is white if tiny air bubbles are trapped inside. The light is refracted off of all the little bubbles.

Answer 2

Pure ice is very clear. The white part you see is because of stress lines formed while it was freezing. Snow looks white because as it formed, it was not a perfect crystal. The snow is made of irregular pieces of ice that come together over time.

Answer 3

Ice is clear.
The reason it's white is because it has air bubbles that reflect white light back through the ice's structure.

Snow is white for a similar reason - the snowflake itself is clear, but its hard edges and gaps reflect light back towards your eyes.

Answer 4

The more pure and crystalline ice is, the clearer it will be.

Air bubbles inside the ice will cause it to appear cloudy. Numerous crystals may also refract/diffract light so that it also creates a cloudy appearance.

Answer 5

Those colors depends on reflection of light. Different molecules reflect light in a different way. And our eyes can see just the reflection of light.

Answer 6

there are so many tiny bubbles inside an ice
that makes it white inside

Answer 7

There is no reason. technically snow and ice have no color they are just a shade. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!! sorry if it doesn't.

Answer 8

refraction or lighting
