There are two wave lengths that are absorbed well. Red and blue colors are the best.
Blue and red absorbed best. Green is not absorbed
There are two waves: red and blue.
The blue and the red spectrum of visible light is best absorbed by chlorophyll.http://www.ndpteachers.org/perit/Absorption%20Spectrum%20%5B2%5D.jpg
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
Special structures in the plant absorb photons
blue an qreen lites
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
Red
blue and green light
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
430 nm
For the first questions, chlorophyll is in plants. That's what makes them green
The blue and the red spectrum of visible light is best absorbed by chlorophyll.http://www.ndpteachers.org/perit/Absorption%20Spectrum%20%5B2%5D.jpg
Chlorophyll absorbs purple/blue light really well and orange/red light too. It doesnt absorb green light very well and refects most of ot, making plants appear green to us. Chlorophyll absorbs best in the 600-750 nm (nanometer) range
Higher wavelenghs of the visible light spectrum are best absorbed by chlorophyll.
Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color. The similarity of the action spectrum of photosynthesis and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tells us that chlorophylls are the most important pigments in the process.
Chlorophyll is not present in high amounts during the fall. The leaves do not have a mask of chlorophyll allowing the xanthophyll to absorb light that is not captured by chlorophyll. This lets the xanthophyll give a yellow color to the leaves in the fall.
