What happens when pigments absorb light?
When pigments absorb light, they gain energy from the light photons. This energy can cause the pigments to undergo a chemical change, leading to a shift in their molecular structure or electronic configuration. This results in the appearance of color in the pigment as certain wavelengths of light are absorbed and others are reflected or transmitted.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
What materials absorb light and how do they do so?
Materials that absorb light typically contain pigments or dyes that are able to absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits these materials, the pigments or dyes absorb the light energy, causing the material to appear darker or change color. This absorption of light energy is what allows these materials to absorb light.
Why do different pigments have different colors?
Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths.
Why are pigments such as anthocyanins coloured?
These pigments absorb specific wavelengths of visible light while scattering the remaining light.
What do pigments absorb during photosynthesis?
light energy
What is the colored chemical compounds that absorb light?
Pigments
What substance that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll pigments absorb light during photosynthesis.
What is true about the light reaction?
photosynthesis begins when pigments in photosystem i absorb light.
What is the start of photosynthesis?
pigments in photosystem II absorb light
What components of the eye contain the pigments the absorb light energy?
Rods and cones contain the pigments that absorb light.
Substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are the main pigments found in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light in photosynthesis. These pigments help capture and convert light energy into chemical energy to drive the process of photosynthesis in plants.
