Study the scenario.

blue light is capable of travelling down through ocean water to a significant depth, but red light does not penetrate nearly so deep.

which choice most accurately describes the effect of energy on water molecules during absorption?
lue light is poorly absorbed by the electrons found in water molecules, and must travel though many molecules until all the blue light energy is absorbed and converted to heat. red light is more easily absorbed, and is all converted to heat in the upper layers of the ocean.
the energy from both blue and red light is equally well absorbed by the electrons in water, and transformed into heat, however water reemits some of this absorbed energy as blue light, which then penetrates deeper into the oceans depths.
red light is poorly absorbed by the electrons in water molecules, and is therefore more likely to be reflected back the way it came. blue light is more easily absorbed, and although it is eventually converted to heat, it does tend to penetrate deeper.
red light contains more energy than blue light. as the two types of light waves travel through water, some of the energy is absorbed from the light waves as they go, turning into heat. the change in energy of the light, changes the color of the red light from red to blue, so that it appears that blue light goes further.
