When a compound absorbs light one must think of the mechanism by which the compound absorbs the light. Light is composed of photons. Photons are specific quantums of energy. We measure light by a range of nanometers that correspond with specific color regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The UV region is 280 to 400 nanometers. Most hetero cyclic compounds absorb radiation in both the UV-A and UV-B regions, particularly in the range of 280 to 350 nanometers, and are highly resistant to photodegradation. The range of photoexcitation (the nm range a molecule absorbs) is associated with both its bond stability and electron configuration.

What is a colored chemical compounds that absorb light?
chlorplasts
What are the colored chemical compounds in plants that absorb light?
These compounds are known as photosynthetic pigments.
What compounds do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelenghts?
accessory pigments.
Is the light dependant reaction cyclic?
Light dependant reactions in photophosporilation can either be cyclic of non-cyclic. It all depends on the organism.
What physical phenomenon is causing each dye to absorb light of one or more colors and transmit light of other colors?
In a spectrometer, each dye will absorb light of certain colors and transmit light of other colors because of the nature of the atoms of the object and the frequency of the light. If the frequency of the light is the same as the frequency that the electrons in the atoms are vibrating, then the light will be absorbed and transferred into vibrational motion.
