None, such a pigment would be utterly useless, biologically. Even rhodopsin in your rods, which process black and white and are primarily used for change detection, absorbs multiple frequencies of light. Would it make sense for you to use a ton of different pigments that each absorb one wavelength, instead of having a few that absorb a wide range of wavelengths? I would attach a diagram of the absorption spectra for rhodopsin, but I think my Professor would get mad about copyrights.

What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
What is the green pigment in chloroplast and absorbs light energy from the sun?
Chlorophyll (mainly), though there are other accessory pigments. Chlorophyll usually absorbs light mainly in the red-orange to blue-violet parts of the visible light spectrum
What is the advantage to porphyra of having the accessory pigment phycoerythrin?
Red pigment allows for absorption of blue and green light. This kind of light penetrates further into the water so it allows them to photosynthesize even in the deeper parts of the ocean.
What kind of material you need to change sun light to electric?
black material to absorb the light energy and then more steps follow until electricity is produced.
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll a absorb light?
It depends on what kind of pigment the plant has. The color of the plant is reflected. That means every other color is obsorbed.
What kind of object that absorb light?
All objects do. There is none that does not absorb any.
What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
Do sunglasses absorb light?
Yes. All kind of sunglasses absorb some light. Some light is reflected too. Dark sunglasses absorb more than not so dark sunglasses.

How does Ultraviolet light work?
UV light is the same as any other kind of light or radiation along the spectrum from radioactive waves to radio waves. The difference between them is their wavelength and fequency. The longer the wavelength, the less the frequency. UV light is high-frequency short-wavelength light, just a bit more high-frequency than the highest-frequency visible light, which is violet. How does light work? Well, even physicists aren't quite sure.
What kind of pigment does white vegetables contain?
It contain a pigment called Flavones.
Atoms can absorb energy in their orbital electrons and release it as light scientist use a what to measure the light in order to what?
spectroscope.....find out what kind of atoms are giving off light energy
Can A photon of low frequency light has more energy than a photon of high frequency light?
Yes. The energy is given by plank's constant times the frequencie of the photon (remember that light is both particle and wave). So since blue light has higher frequency than green light, it is more energetic.
What kind of material you need to change sun light to electric?
black material to absorb the light energy and then more steps follow until electricity is produced.

What is the wavelength for 835.6 MHz?
You didn't specify what kind of wave. Use the relationship: speed = frequency x wavelength.You didn't specify what kind of wave.
