What wavelength of visible light is least utilized by chlorophyll?

White absorbs the least light. The "pigment" that causes the color white does not absorb any other colors, so all the colors are reflected back to you as "everything", or white. Think of white light. There are many colors hidden in white light, and by the process of refraction, white light can be separated and a rainbow of colors revealed.
Black, on the other hand, is a pigment that absorbs all colors of light. Since no color is present, what you see is essentially a reflection of "nothing".

Why red is the most visible color?
The color red is the longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum because the less energy a wave carries the longer the wavelength and red carries the least energy of all the colors in the visible spectrum
What is the longest wavelength and least energy in the visible spectrum?
The longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum is at the red end (at about 750nm) the lowest is violet (450nm). For a given intensity source the energy that can be generated is equal.The answer you are looking for is 720-680nm
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
Which color of the visible light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?
The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.
Which chromatographic process would be least likely to be utilized in the crime lab?
paper chromatography
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
Why red is the most visible color?
The color red is the longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum because the less energy a wave carries the longer the wavelength and red carries the least energy of all the colors in the visible spectrum
What wavelength of visible light is of least value in photosynthesis?
Green (~510nm) which is reflected by the plant and not absorbed at all
What is the longest wavelength and least energy in the visible spectrum?
The longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum is at the red end (at about 750nm) the lowest is violet (450nm). For a given intensity source the energy that can be generated is equal.The answer you are looking for is 720-680nm
What colors absorb the least heat?
Red. Red has the slowest wavelength on the visible color spectrum, creating red to take in the least amount of heat.
The colour least deviated when he light passes through the prism?
Out of the visible colors, red. The lower the wavelength the less it is dispersed.
What does roy g biv look like?
like the colors of the rainbow. violet has the least wavelength or the greatest frequency possible that humans can see and marks one end of the visible spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum. red has the highest wavelength or least frequency possible that humans can see and marks the other end of the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the color with the shortest wave length?
Visible light wiith the lowest frequency / longest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum. Visible light with the highest frequency / shortest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum.
The absorption spectrum for chlorophyll reveals that it?
Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color. The similarity of the action spectrum of photosynthesis and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tells us that chlorophylls are the most important pigments in the process.
What is amplitude frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The frequency and wavelength are the same thing. Not effected by the amplitude in the least.
