孙燕姿的“绿光”真实存在
英语课
还记得孙燕姿那首红遍大江南北的《绿光》吗?“翻越过前面山顶、层层白云,绿光在哪里?”——不知道有多少人跟小编一样,以为歌里的“绿光”只是对幸福的比喻。而其实在现实中,“绿光”是真实存在的呢!来看看它的解释吧:
Green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena 1 that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible, usually for no more than a second or two, above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point。
The reason for a green flash lies in refraction of light (as in a prism) in the atmosphere: light moves more slowly in the lower, denser 2 air than in the thinner air above, so sunlight rays follow paths that curve slightly, in the same direction as the curvature of the Earth. Higher frequency light (green/blue) curves more than lower frequency light (red/orange), so green/blue rays from the upper limb of the setting sun remain visible after the red rays are obstructed 3 by the curvature of the earth。
简单说来就是:在日出和日落时,当太阳只有一小部分在水平线之上,而空气又十分清新的话,绿太阳便会出现,维时仅仅数秒。我们知道,太阳光通过大气层时会被折射,正如三棱镜一样,把太阳光的白光折射为彩虹七色。波长较短的光线会被折射得较多,所以在日出或日落的一刻,我们最先或最后所看见的都应该是蓝光。但是,蓝色的光在空气中较易被散射,不易看见,而往往我们看见的,是比蓝光波长稍长的绿光,这便是绿太阳的由来。可是如果空气中有太多灰尘的话,就连绿光也会被散射开,我们就看不见绿太阳了。
