no. Chlorophyll is the absence of what is sometimes known as 'Quadphlapic light', only because of it's absinity to water. Quadphlapic light has no evidence to having quadrotic relations, although further tests are needed to prove this theory. thus, until proven otherwise, Chlorophyll is not the absence of green light.

What is the green pigment that is in chloroplast?
Chlorophyll refelcts the majority of green light, this gives plants (and chlorophyll) its green colour
Why chlorophyll acts as a catalyst in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is NOT really a catalyst. The presence of chlorophyll in the absence of light does not catalyze photosynthesis. Chlorophyll plays a part in photosynthesis, it captures light energy.
What is the green pigment that traps light?
Chlorophyll
Plants look green because chlorophyll does what to green light?
You may not know it, but sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow. Chlorophyll absorbs most of colors in light but not green. plants look green because chlorophyll reflects green light.Read more: Why_does_chlorophyll_make_a_plant_look_green
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.
How does chlorophyll make a LeafGreen?
The pigments in the chlorophyll are green and the reflected light make the plant green.
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
What makes a leaf green?
Chlorophyll is what makes leaves green. It is a pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize - i.e. it allows for the absorption energy from light. Chlorophyll appears green because it doesn't absorb this colour of the spectrum very well; that it, it reflects green light more than other colours.
What is the green pigment that is found in plants?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is responsible for the green pigment. The chlorophyll reflects green light.
What color of light is reflected by chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll reflects the green portion of the visible light spectrum, this is why most plants appear green in color
Why is that the leaves appear green even in the absence of sunlight?
the green color of the leaf is due to the presence of plastids called chlorophyll not sunlight. this is d reason why they appear green even in the absence of sunlight.
Why does chlorophyll make a plant look green?
You may not know it, but sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow. Chlorophyll absorbs most of colors in light but not green. plants look green because chlorophyll reflects green light.
