据说是princeton物理系一个有个性的教授出的期末考试题,整个考试只有一道题:

The sky is blue, please deduce "Avogadro Constant".

blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look
towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue
light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow.
This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the

distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the
spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet
with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and
indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina
of the human eye respond most st
