If light of all visible wavelengths is combined the results appear to be what color?
If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.
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
Green pigment in a plant that make it appear green is called?
Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that makes the plant appear green.It absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light from the sun, and reflects green wavelengths of light.In the fall/ autumn, many plants produce less chlorophyll, and the karotenoids stand out. Karotenoids are other pigments that absorb green and blue wavelengths of light, and reflect yellow and red wavelengths of light instead.
What colored chemical compounds absorbs light?
Many chemical substances absorb light.
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.
What is the relationship between chlorophyll and chloroplasts?
Yes chlorophyll effect the color of the plant, the wavelengths of light that they absorb do not reflect the color that they emit out. Chlorophyll resist absorbance of wavelengths between about 530nm and570nm, which, if you look on the electromagnetic spectrum, is the range for green light.
Why does a leaf appear green when a person looks at it?
The chlorophyll pigments absorb all wavelengths of light except in the green spectrum, which it reflects.
Why is it that generally the leaves of plants is color green?
Because plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize energy from solar radiation and chlorophyll is a bad absorber of light's green wavelengths.
Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
Why plants look like green?
The color that something appears is related to the wavelengths of light that it absorbs. White light contains many different wavelengths. Different objects absorb different wavelengths contained in light. The color than an object appears to our eyes is actually determined by the wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. Instead the object reflects this light back at us.
Compare And Contrast Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from most wavelengths of violet/blue and orange/red. Chlorophyll b is more soluble that chlorophyll a in polar solvents and more yellow in color. It absorbs most energy from blue light.
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
