Which term describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?
Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of lights and reflects other, giving something its color. Chlorophyll is the green substance that absorbs light and provide energy for photosynthesis.
What wavelength of light does chlorophyll a reflect?
There are 2 different types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll "a" absorbs light in the violet and red regions of the visible spectrum while chlorophyll "b" absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
What pigment reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis?
chlorophyl
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except?
Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.
Colored material that absorbs some colors but reflects others?
All colored materials, except white-colored and black-colored materials, reflects or emits its own color of light while the other parts of the spectrum are absorbed. White-colored and black-colored materials are exceptions because, white-colored materials reflects all the colors or all the parts of the visible spectrum because white's composition is all the colors and, black-colored materials absorb all the colors while reflecting none because black is merely the absence of any color although black is sometimes described as a color. In other words, white is composed of all the parts of the visible spectrum that is why white-colored materials reflect all the light. In the other hand, black do not reflect any color or any part of the visible spectrum but absorb all of it because black is the absence of spectral light or simply the absence of light.
