The optical properties of water and ice are crucial in understanding their behavior in various environments, ranging from climate science to biology and engineering. Here are some key aspects: \#\#\# Optical Properties of Water 1. **Absorption**: - Water absorbs light in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions. The absorption spectrum shows that water is relatively transparent in the visible range (400-700 nm), but it absorbs strongly in the UV and near-IR regions.
