Is it true or false that only portions of visible light can be taken up by chlorophyll?
True, obviously the green part of the spectrum is not used which is why chlorophyll looks green when illuminated with white light.
Does a sunflower reflect yellow light?
Yes. It absorbs all the visible colors of the spectrum and reflects yellow. See the related link for more information.
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment because it absorbs only the green part of the visible light spectrum?
No it uses all the other colours for photosynthesies so gives out the green that it doesent use.
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
What wavelength of light does chlorophyll a reflect?
There are 2 different types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll "a" absorbs light in the violet and red regions of the visible spectrum while chlorophyll "b" absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
What color does not reflect any light?
Black. it absorbs the entire visible spectrum, whereas white reflects the entire visible spectrum.
What color of light is reflected by chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll reflects the green portion of the visible light spectrum, this is why most plants appear green in color
What color does carotene reflect?
Carotene reflects orange wavelengths on the visible spectrum.
What will happen to the atoms of the photosynthetic pigments when they are exposed to wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum above or below the spectrum of visible light?
Nothing would happen as chlorophyll absorbs only visible light but phycobilins can absorb heat also .
Which regions of the visible spectrum in which chlorophyll absorbed light very well?
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
Why does gold not reflect the color blue?
The color blue is at one end of the spectrum of visible light. It is absorbed by the yellow color of gold, which is mid spectrum.
Is it true or false that only portions of visible light can be taken up by chlorophyll?
True, obviously the green part of the spectrum is not used which is why chlorophyll looks green when illuminated with white light.
What colors do white paper reflect?
All of them. White light is formed by all the colours of the visible spectrum combined.
What color of the spectrum does a black road reflect?
A black road does not reflect any visible light, although it may reflect radiation at invisible wavelengths, such as heat.
Which reion ofhe visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?
I'm thinking it must be the green region. That's probably why plants look green to me, after their chlorophyll has absorbed all the other colors of light.
