red and violet light. it reflects green light. Red and violet are on the outside of the ROYGBIV white light spectrum. so its actually more about the wavelength of the light absorption rather than color

Water is transparent to light of nearly all the visible frequencies, it strongly absorbs infrared waves. Water molecules resonate to the frequencies of infrared. Energy of the infrared waves is transformed into internal energy in the water, which causes red light to be a little more strongly absorbed in water than blue light.
Electromagnetic waves that stimulate the sensation of color when the vibrations interact with the cone-shaped receiving antennae in the retinas of our eyes. Our eye-to brain interactions produce the beautiful colors we see.

What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb the most energy?
Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light (energy) in the blue- violet spectrum
Why is the mixture of all colors of the light spectrum called white light?
If all colors of light are mixed, the light becomes white, hence white light. Most lights used to light buildings are not exactly white since they only contain certain wavelengths of light in the spectrum.
Which color besides black absorbs the most heat?
Colors don't absorb "heat". Colors absorb light. So it depends on the light source, which color is most effective at being heated by light it absorbs. A violet color will absorb a photon of violet (or more energetic) light, and re-emit some of it. The losses in re-emission per photon is higher than with other colors. But our Sun's light does not carry too many violet photons, so we always call these surfaces "cool". So you can guess "red", and know that it is the light source, and not the color, that makes it hotter.
What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light?
One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky have light passing into them, and the light is bent in a similar way, producing the spectrum. So there are many devices that can produce a spectrum of the colors.
Why do darker colors absorb the most heat?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed.Miissmeg.
What does absorb spectrum absorb light for?
it means holds most
What colors absorb the most light and which colors reflect the most light?
Black absorbs the most light and white reflects the most.
Does colored lights affect plants growth?
Yes. Plants mainly absorb light in the red and blue spectrum, and reflect the green spectrum (which is why leaves look green). The leaves and stems of a plant are green -- they are reflecting, not absorbing, green light. The colors that give the plant the most energy are at the purple end of the spectrum (red and blue) - those colors with the highest light energy. Blue light - responsible for vegetative or leaf growth (fluorescent light) Red plus Blue light - encourages flowering (full spectrum or "grow lights)
The color black is said to be able to absorb the most light and produce the most heat why is this?
the reason is all light colors for example white, yellow don't absorb light they just reflect it, but dark colors absorb it the light and black being the darkest color absorbs the must heat and light.
What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb the most energy?
Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light (energy) in the blue- violet spectrum

If all colors of light are mixed, the light becomes white, hence white light. Most lights used to light buildings are not exactly white since they only contain certain wavelengths of light in the spectrum.
What color after black absorb the light most?
Black is not a color. It is the combination of all colors.
How do carotene and xanthophyll function differently from chlorophyll?
carotene and xanthophyll absorb blue green light while chlorophyll absorbs all other colors of light in the spectrum. Once carotene and xanthophyll have absorbed light, they transfer the light energy to chlorophyll.

What color absorbs heat poorly?
Usually the darker colors because they absorb the most light, reflecting only a small portion of what they receive. The lighter colors absorb the least and reflect larger portions of the received light.
Why are solar panals black?
Black is the color that absorbs most of the visible light spectrum. Therefore they are black so that they can absorb those photons.
Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
