Best Answer: Water has a higher index of refraction than air. When light reaches a boundary between two media with different indices of refraction, part of the light is refracted, and part is reflected.
Water is intrinsically blue because of its selective absorption of the red end of the spectrum. One explanation of the Cerenkov effect in water is that the atoms in the water become excited by the Cerenkov shock wave and then de-excite, emitting blue light. Another possible explanation is that the number of photons emitted by such a charged particle is inversely proportional to wavelength.
