Question
what color of light penetrates deepest into the open ocean?
blue

Brief Explanations
Water absorbs longer wavelengths of light (like orange, yellow, green) more quickly than shorter, blue wavelengths. Blue light has a short wavelength that is scattered less and absorbed minimally by open ocean water, allowing it to penetrate the deepest.
