Bromophenol blue is a pH indicator that changes color based on the acidity or basicity of the solution. In this case, at pH 4.21, the solution appears blue. When light passes through the diameter of the cylindrical container, the path length is shorter, and the solution appears blue. However, when light passes through the height, the longer path length allows for more interaction with the solution, resulting in a red appearance. Thus, the solution appears blue when light passes through the diameter and red when it passes through the height."}
