Ripples and sunlight pattern in the shallow part of Brofjorden at Holländaröd, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ripples and sunlight pattern in the shallow part of Brofjorden at Holländaröd, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. Under some conditions (clear water, angle of sunlight, size of ripples, depth of water) the ripples acts like prisms dispersing the sunlight into small underwater rainbows projected on the bottom. At the same time some of the other ripples becomes "magnifying glasses" and enlarge the small rainbows. The bottom is mainly made up of silt, also on the photo are some rocks with arctic sea moss (Acrosiphonia arcta). Photo is taken from this jetty but at a different time.
Español: Patrón de ondulaciones y luz en la parte poco profunda de Brofjorden en Holländaröd, Suecia. Bajo ciertas condiciones (agua clara, ángulo de la luz del sol, tamaño de las ondulaciones, profundidad del agua) las ondulaciones actúan como prismas, dispersando la luz del sol bajo el agua en pequeños arcos iris proyectados en el fondo. Al mismo tiempo, algunas de las ondulaciones se convierten en "lupas" y aumentan los pequeños arcos iris. El fondo se compone principalmente de limo. La foto incluye también algunas rocas con musgo del mar Ártico (Acrosiphonia arcta).
Polski: Zmarszczki na wodzie oraz utworzony przez nie na dnie wzór ze światła słonecznego w płytkiej części fiordu Brofjorden koło miejscowości Holländaröd w gminie Lysekil, w Szwecji. W zależności od warunków (czystość wody, kąt padania światła słonecznego, wielkość zmarszczek, głębokość wody) zmarszczki działają jak pryzmaty rozszczepiające światło na małe podwodne tęcze wyświetlane na dnie, a jednocześnie inne zmarszczki działają jak „lupy”, które powiększają te małe tęcze. Dno składa się głównie z mułu, widoczne są też skały porośnięte zielonymi algami z gatunku Acrosiphonia arcta.
Українська: Хвилі та сонячні відблиски на мілководній частині фйорду Брофйорден в комуні Лисечіль, Вестра-Йоталанд, Швеція. За певних умов (чиста вода, ідеальні кут падіння сонячних променів, висота хвиль та глибина води) хвилі починають поводитися як призми і відбувається дисперсія сонячного світла на маленькі підводні веселки. Також деякі хвилі поводяться як збільшувальне скло і збільшують ці маленькі веселки.
Magyar: Fodrok és napfényminta a Brofjorden sekély partján. Bizonyos körülmények között (tiszta víz, a napfény szöge, a fodrok mérete, vízmélység) a hullámok olyan prizmákként működnek, amelyek a napfényt kis víz alatti szivárványokká szórják. Ugyanakkor a többi hullám nagyító lencsékké alakul és felnagyítják a kis szivárványokat (Holländaröd, Svédország)
한국어: 스웨덴 홀렌다뢰드 브로피오르덴 얕은 곳에 잔물결과 햇빛으로 생겨난 무늬. 어떤 조건(맑은 물, 햇빛의 각도, 잔물결의 크기, 물의 깊이)에서는 잔물결들이 프리즘과 같이 작용하여 햇빛을 바닥에 투영된 물속의 작은 무지개로 분산시킨다. 동시에 일부 다른 잔물결들은 '돋보기'가 되어 작은 무지개들을 확대한다.
Македонски: Расејување на светлината како мали виножита во плитка вода, каде бранчињата во поволни услови имаат улога на призми. Фјорд Брофјорден, Бохуслен, југозападна Шведска.
Nederlands: Onder de juiste omstandigheden veroorzaken rimpels en zonlicht kleine regenbogen op de bodem van ondiep water
Português: Ondulações de água do mar na parte pouco profunda do fiorde Brofjorden em Holländaröd, comuna de Lysekil, Suécia.
Svenska: Vågor och solstrålemönster i den grunda delen av Brofjorden vid Holländaröd, Sverige. Under visa omständigheter (klart vatten, vinkel på solljuset, vattendjup) fungerar vågorna som prismor och bryter ljuset I små undervattensregnbågar som projiceras på bottnen. Samtidigt blir andra vågor till ett slags förstoringsglas och förstorar regnbågarna.
