Water isn't blue :s

My tap water isn't blue. When i fill up the bath it isn't blue.

It's the reflection of the sky.

Go to blackpool and see how blue the sea is there

Water is blue, but only very slightly, so when its shallow, like in a sink of bath, it seems colourless. But when its deep, like the sea, there's so much you can actually see the blueness. Or maybe its something to do with the fact that it lets most light through, so only a little bit of light gets reflected. Obviously, with the sea, there's a ot more light being reflected.

The amount of Rayleigh scattering that occurs to a beam of light is dependent upon the size of the particles and the wavelength of the light; in particular, the scattering coefficient, and hence the intensity of the scattered light, varies inversely with the fourth power of the wavelength, a relation known as the Rayleigh law.
