Abstract

A white LED lamp and a PET bottle/transparent plastic bag were used for a demonstration of sky color change caused by light scattering of wax particles suspended in water. Taking a digital picture of the container, we show graphically that blue light decays rapidly but red light decays slowly and green light shows intermediate decay.
