Now if both red light and blue light were being transmitted by the sun
carrying equal energies then the red would loose less of its energy to
oscillating its neighbor and send more of its energy through the atmosphere
to run my solar calculator. Whereas the blue light looses more of its
energy oscillating its neighbor and therefore sends less through for my
calculator. Am I on the right track?
I'm still confused by "oscillating its neighbor". As the light passes
through the air, the electrons in the molecules oscillate in response
to the electric field. I guess you could say that the light "oscillates"
the molecules; if that's what you mean, then yes, it sounds like you've
got the picture.
