What color wavelengths of light do plants primarily absorb?
Different plants absorb different colors. Even different parts of plants absorb different colors. The color you see the plant as is the color being reflected rather than absorbed by the plant.
What color reflects wavelengths of the visible spectrum that hit it?
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
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.
What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?
Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.
Why only using green light would the plants look droopy?
Chlorophyll in plants does not absorb green light as they reflect this color. That is why plants are, generally, green as they reflect green light and absorb other wavelengths of light.
What color are objects that absorb all colors that reflects little light?
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
Why is the color black so dark?
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of visible light and are therefore dark.
What are color wavelengths?
The longest visible wavelengths are red,

Why do you see objects as different colors when light shines on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light is shining on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
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 is the visible light color of the shortest wavelengths?
violet
