The Sun Light spectrum is 275nm to 2850nm . This includes Visible range, almost near IR radiations and a part of UV radiations. In simple, sunlight spectrum ranges from middle of middle UV to almost till Near IR radiations.

∙ 10y agoThe frequency of visible light are
4 x 10-14 Hz for red light, up to
8 x 10-14 Hz for violet.
Which corresponds to
740 nm (nanometres= x 10-9 m) for red
380 nm for violet.
The sun also emits well into infra red (longer wavelength than red) and ultra violet (shorter wavelength), which are invisible to the human eye.
Infra red is detected as heat.
Above ultra violet it goes into X-rays.
About 44% of the electromagnetic radiation of the sun, is visible light.

∙ 14y agoIt is accepted that the visible region is between 380 and 750 nm.

How does artificial sunlight work in photosynthesis?
The same as natural sunlight, provided the wavelengths needed for photosynthesis are provided.
What percentage of sunlight is visible light?
Sunlight is broken down into three major components: (1) visible light, with wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.8 micrometre, (2) ultraviolet light, with wavelengths shorter than 0.4 micrometre, and (3) infrared radiation, with wavelengths longer than 0.8 micrometre. The visible portion constitutes nearly half of the total radiation received at the surface of the Earth.
What rays of sunlight are mostly utilized by chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
All wavelengths from Sunlight are used except for those of Green; which is Why Leaves appear Green - they give-off the light that they cannot use.
Artificial light vs sunlight?
Artificial light is not always as good as natural sunlight. There are a few types of natural sunlight bulbs that come close, only they are still missing several wavelengths that are found in natural light. These wavelengths are necessary for plant growth and vitamin D production in animals.
How do chloroplast get energy from sunlight?
chlorophyll and other pigments absorb energy from certain wavelengths of visible light.
How does artificial sunlight work in photosynthesis?
The same as natural sunlight, provided the wavelengths needed for photosynthesis are provided.
What is a type of sunlight with wavelengths too short to be seen?
A type of sunlight with wavelengths too short to be seen is called Ultraviolet. Oh and your looking this up for a science word search the back has the answers
What happens when rain refracts sunlight and separates it into its component wavelengths?
Rainbow
The closest invisible wavelengths to violet on the electromagnetic spectrum are called?
sunlight
How does sunlight and color relate?
Sunlight contains all the colors (wavelengths) in the visible light spectrum. This is evidenced by the colors seen in rainbows.
Why sunlight turn black colour into white?
Sunlight cannot turn black into white. However, a black surface may appear white in bright sunlight due to reflection of all the wavelengths of light from a shiny surface. The color black is actually the result of the absence of reflection of any wavelengths of light while the color white is the result of reflection of all the wavelengths of light.
When sunlight passes through a prism the different wavelengths separate into an of colors?
It's called a spectrum.
Why are chlorophyll a and b green?
They both absorb al of the wavelengths of sunlight except for green.
A plant does not grow under artificial light because it does not have the nutrients that sunlight has?
sunlight does not contain nutrients! it comprises of various wavelengths of light - some which the plant uses and others not
What is an example of scattered?
An example is the short wavelengths of sunlight which are blue are scattered by particles in the atmosphere, making the sky blue.
Are shorter wavelengths more affected by a prism or water droplets than longer wavelengths?
False. A prism separates the colors of sunlight into a spectrum because each wavelength of light has its own index of refraction, not because wavelengths are affected more or less by the prism.
What percentage of sunlight is visible light?
Sunlight is broken down into three major components: (1) visible light, with wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.8 micrometre, (2) ultraviolet light, with wavelengths shorter than 0.4 micrometre, and (3) infrared radiation, with wavelengths longer than 0.8 micrometre. The visible portion constitutes nearly half of the total radiation received at the surface of the Earth.
