20. The correlation length ξ must correspond to the size of the largest clusters because of its diverging character at the critical point: the critical fluctuations cannot possibly exceed an infinite ξ. Indeed a characteristic feature of the critical point phenomena is the critical opalescence (white or milky coloration of the critical fluid) that is a consequence of the critical fluctuations of varying size that scatter visible light. The white light scattered by a critical fluid is indicative of the fact that fluctuations of all wavelengths are present with roughly the same probability.
