What wavelengths of light does chlorophyll absorb the best?
The blue and the red spectrum of visible light is best absorbed by chlorophyll.http://www.ndpteachers.org/perit/Absorption%20Spectrum%20%5B2%5D.jpg
What the four kinds of light sensitive receptors found in the retina?
Rods, cones that absorb long wavelength light (red),cones that absorb middle wavelength light (green), and cones that absorb short ways length light (blue)
A pigment that absorbs primarily red and blue photons of light for photosynthesis is called?
Chlorophylls are pant pigments that absorb red and blue light. Carotenoids absorb blue-green light blue-green light. Green and yellow light are not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants, and this is why plants appear green.
How does light enter the light dependant reaction?
Blue and red absorbed best. Green is not absorbed
Why does Jupiter's red spot look red?
Because the gases present in the atmosphere absorb blue and green wavelengths of light and reflect red, so it appears red to us.
What would happen if a light with a red filter was shined through a blue filter?
A red filter will absorb all but the red wavelength of light. A blue filter absorbs all but blue light. So the blue filter will absorb the red wavelength and no light will shine through.
Carolenoids absorb what?
Blue and green light, not red.
Plant leaves appear green because they absorb green light?
False. They absorb red and blue light.
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb best?
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
Which of these are the pigments that absorb blue-violet and blue-green light and reflect red orange and yellow light?
carotenoids
What wavelengths of light does chlorophyll absorb the best?
The blue and the red spectrum of visible light is best absorbed by chlorophyll.http://www.ndpteachers.org/perit/Absorption%20Spectrum%20%5B2%5D.jpg
Color of light absorb in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Red and blue are absorbed, green is reflected.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange red and violet blue light?
yes..
Does an object that appears to be blue absorb red light?
The best way to answer is to: Google It
Do red dye absorb the red component of white light?
it mainly reflects red, absorbs green + blue
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange-red and violet blue light?
actually plants are green to the human eye because they reflect green light witch in return your eyes absorb so the chlorophyll absorbs the red and the blue while reflecting the green spectrum. btw the plants absorb more blue light than red as blue light contains more energy than red due to the higher Frequency and therefor more energy.
