Certain plant molecules are calledpigments are chemically affected by photons of light from the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electrons within pigment molecules are excited to higher energy levels when bombarded by certain wavelengths of light. This produces an unstable high-energy state that can be harnessed by plants. In this way, energy from the sun powers photosynthesis.

Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?
Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
How does magnetism effect gamma radiation?
No. Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment.
How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
Was feynman wrong in saying light is a particle?
Most likely not. Light is made up of photons, and even photons have mass..Thus light is a particle as particles are mass. But to confuse you, even though light = photons & photons = particle & particle = mass; the photons also act as a wave. Which is rather incredible, because it means that a mass also acts as a wave.
How do you make liquid light?
you cant. you can create a liquid that produces light, but because "light" is the photons from an object entering your eye, to create this liquid light ie liquid photons, the photons wouldnt leave the liquid and thus enter your eye.
Do fire flames make photons?
Photons are pieces of light. If you see a light, then there are photons.
Particles of light are called what?
Light particles are called Photons.
Can you see photons?
Yes. Photons are what light consists of.
Why do the photons pass through the material?
Transparency means that the photons are not affected (except for speed) by that material.
What does light contain?
Light contains energy in the form of the photons of electromagnetic radiation
When light is emitted as particles it is called?
Photons are particles of light:))) (in some cases.)
What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from light?
Pretty sure it is photons.....
Do plants tast better in natural light or in artifcial light?
Photons of light are photons of light and the most photons per growing day wins the taste prize. Ill posed question.
White light is made of?
Though you can say light is made up of photons, the photons themselves are not matter, they are energy. Therefore light is actually energy. But you can still say light is made of photons.
