traffic lights instead of other colors?
As we know, scattering (散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media (媒质),
if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will
be long.
Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means
the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.
Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas sec the lights. It helps drivers stow down or stop
in lime. If drivers don"t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time.
