What else can I help you with?
What does the visible light absorbed by chlorophyll do to the energy level of the chlorophylls electrons?
Electrons are released from chlorophyll and create an electron hole , it is just like formation of a positive ion or ionization .
What do plants have these other pigments besides chlorophyll?
That is for efficient photosynthesis. More energy can be absorbed
How are photons absorbed by materials and what happens to them afterwards?
Photons are absorbed by materials when their energy matches the energy levels of electrons in the material. When a photon is absorbed, it can cause an electron to move to a higher energy level or be released as heat. The absorbed energy can also be re-emitted as a new photon or used to create a chemical reaction.
What happens to the electrons when sunlight hits the leaves?
When sunlight hits the leaves, the energy from the light is absorbed by chlorophyll, the green pigment in the chloroplasts. This absorbed energy excites electrons in the chlorophyll molecules, raising them to a higher energy state. These high-energy electrons are then transferred through a series of proteins in the thylakoid membrane, initiating the process of photosynthesis, which ultimately converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
What happens to electrons in the photo electric effect?
Electrons are ejected from a metal surface when it is exposed to light of sufficient energy. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The energy of the incident light is absorbed by the electrons, causing them to be emitted from the metal surface.
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
What happens to the absorbed light energy when a light wave is absorbed by an object?
When a light wave is absorbed by an object, the absorbed light energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy within the object.
Why is glass transparent?
When the electrons in molecules are unable to absorb the energy of incident photon, the photon continues along its path. This happens in the case of glass, even though glass is not 100 percent transparent, as some of the photon energy is absorbed by the glass electrons.
What happens to light energy that is not absorbed by a material?
Light energy that is not absorbed by a material is typically reflected, transmitted, or scattered.
What is the amount of energy given off or absorbed when electrons change energy states equal to?
The amount of energy given off or absorbed when electrons change energy states is equal to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron. This energy is typically released or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as light.
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
When electrons of an excited atom falls back to lower levels there is an emission of energy that produces what?
The electrons emit photons of light equal in energy to the energy that was absorbed.
