What form of energy is absorbed my the chloroplast?
Chlorophyll absorbs certain wave lengths of light in the transference of heat driving the plants osmosis and cell building activities.
What do plant cells use chlorophyll for?
Plants cells use it for is because this green substances that allows the plants to trap light so they can make food Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll is to absorb light and transfer that light energy to the reaction center of photosynthesis.
What will happen to a plant's food production if it is kept under green colored light for an extended period of time?
Diminish significantly. Plants are green because that is the color they are reflecting into the world and not absorbing the photons at that wave length. Google chlorophyll to see what wave lengths this pigment absorbs.
What is the result of a reflected sound wave?
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
What parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb the best?
There are two wave lengths that are absorbed well. Red and blue colors are the best.
Do leaves contain pigement?
The leaves are full of chloroplasts which contain the pigment chlorophyll. Green is the light wave reflected by this pigment.
Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
What form of energy is absorbed my the chloroplast?
Chlorophyll absorbs certain wave lengths of light in the transference of heat driving the plants osmosis and cell building activities.
What are wave lengths in your eye?
wave lengths in your eye grab light and make it the colour you see
How does color work?
Humans perceive different wave lengths of light as different colors. Objects are struck by all the colors.If all the colors are reflected off the object, it is perceived as a white object.If all the light gets absorbed by the object and none is reflected, Then the object is perceived as black.If the object is blue, only the blue light will be reflected and all other wave lengths will be absorbed by the object. The eye would then perceive the object as blue.That is why black clothing can sometimes be hot to wear.
What property of light is reflected by the amplitude of a light wave?
brightness
Do light waves or gamma rays have shorter wave lengths?
I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.
What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?
Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.
When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?
Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.
When a light wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its?
velocity
Is speed of light is the same for all the wave lengths?
yes
When light is reflected by a mirror it must change directions?
wave length
