If the ocean is blue due to the reflection and refraction of the 
scattered blue light, why is that a large bowl of water kept outdoors 
does not appear blue ? Please dont tell me this true for only large 
masses of water or that our eyes and brain is not devoloped enough to 
perceive this !
Thank You
