Green light.
If you use the abbreviation ROY G. Biv ( red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you will always know that the red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to one another. So if the wavelength is large, frequency is small, and when wavelength is small, frequency is large. Green light has a smaller wavelength than yellow. Likewise it has a higher frequency than yellow does. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.

Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange-red and violet blue light?
actually plants are green to the human eye because they reflect green light witch in return your eyes absorb so the chlorophyll absorbs the red and the blue while reflecting the green spectrum. btw the plants absorb more blue light than red as blue light contains more energy than red due to the higher Frequency and therefor more energy.
How does colored plastic wrap affect plant growth?
Blue plastic wrap, of course, reflects blue light, so putting you plant under blue plastic wrap denies the plant of that wavelength. Now the majority of light that the sun gives out is yellow, so it only makes sense that plants have evolved to maximize their exploitation of that particular wavelength. As a consequence green light has been sacrificed as that is the colour that chlorophyll (the yellow exploiting pigment) reflects. Even though green light has more energy than yellow there is less of it so it is favourable for the plant to go for the yellow as the over-all sum of the energy it receives by this method is higher. Now chlorophyll reflects green but does absorbs higher blue and violet. These wavelengths are very high energy and even though there isn't very much of them they are capable (due to their high energy quantum) to drive reactions that yellow light cannot. For this reason there are a few photosynthetic reactions that the plant uses blue light for to make rare but important compounds. So by putting your plant under blue plastic wrap you are denying the plant the production of rare but important compounds, which it now has to obtain by so other less productive means.
Energy source of photosynthesis?
the sun since it is white light it has more color. plants have better photosynthesis when in blues and reds light which are absorbed. green is not used so it is reflected giving the color of green in most plants.
Are trees green?
no they are more of a light green colour but it depends on what season it is. And also what tree it is.Answer:The leaves of trees are often green however the leaves can also be yellow, red or red/ purple. It all depends on the type of chlorophyll in the leaves, Some conifers like Blue Spruce have a bluish tinge to their needles and trees like maples change colour from green to red and yellow with frost.
Which has greatest frequency yellow light or green light?
Blue and yellow colors make green color. Blue has got more energy than yellow color. So green color will have more energy than yellow color. Hence proved.
Is a Bunsen burner flame is easy to see when it is yellow or blue?
It is easier to see when it is yellow. It produces more heat energy and less light energy when it is blue. The yellow flame produces more light energy than heat energy. That makes it more visible
What light is needed for photosynthesis?
sunlightBlue and red light is more absorbed. Green and yellow are not preferred.
Does yellow light have more energy than green light?
Yes. Blue light has a lower wavelength than yellow light, which is why it is perceived by out eyes as a different color. Blue light's wavelength is around 450 nanometers and yellow light's wavelength is around 575 nanometers. since the speed of light is constant for all light, and frequency is the speed of light over the wavelength of the light, the larger the wavelength, the lower the frequency. And the lower the frequency, the lower the energy. So the shorter wavelength of light (in this case, blue colored light) has a faster frequency, and therefore more energy.
How do you mix color to make light green?
To make a green you simply mix blue and yellow. If you want it to be a lighter green you add more yellow than blue and if you want a dark/bluey green you add more blue.
Which has more energy a photon of red light or photon of violet light?
The violet light has more energy than the red light. Red light is lower on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it has a lower frequency (or longer wavelength). You'll recall the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, etc., and these are the colors going up the frequency spectrum. Photons higher on the spectrum are higher in frequency and energy.
Why does boric acid and methanol burn green?
It doesn't burn green it burns yellow. you only get green when you mix it with a substance that burns blue so the two colors can mix to make green
What would a green object look like in a yellow light?
Dark green.A more descriptive answer:It depends on the exact spectra the light emits, not just what it looks to us.If the light combines red and green wavelengths, then the green object will appear green, because of the green wavelength. The object may have a yellowish tinge because of small reflection of the red wavelength.If the light is spectral yellow and not just red + green, then the green object will appear a much darker green maybe with a slight yellow or dark-yellow tinge because of, again, small reflection of dominant yellow wavelength.
Why do you know that lithium salts will never emit green light and copper salts will never emit red light?
Because they each have their own level of energy. Green light has more energy than red light.
What is yellow is green?
Well yellow and green are color but what I think your asking is" What is yellow is actually green" well if thats the case then sorta. A yellow object actually reflects red and green light, we see it as yellow. On the light spectra there are the three primary colors of light, red, green, and blue. There are also 2 secondary colors, yellow and cyan. Magenta is a secondary color but it doesn't appear on the spectra like white so its a phantom color. You'll noticed that magenta is similar to red, cyan is to blue and yellow is to green. if you pick a color in between yellow and green it'll appear more green than yellow since its a primary color of light, making it naturally darker than most colors. I hope I answered your question.
Why certain types of algae contain pigments other then just chlorphyll?
Chlorophyll is great at absorbing blue light but not red yellow or green so in order to obtain more energy from the sun plants have other pigments that absorb more of the light spectrum.
What color do you get by mixing yellow and blue?
In equal quantities, green. Other shades are possible, ranging from blue-green to greenish yellow.(Blue is on one side of the spectrum, yellow is in the middle. Between them is the transitional color green. Any color that adds blue to yellow takes it into the green.)Blue and yellow are primary colors. When you mix them, you get the secondary color green. The more blue you have in the mixture, the darker the green.Yellow and blue make greenIt gives you dark greenWhen you mix blue and yellow you get green. It depends on how much blue and yellow you use to make it a light green or a blue-green.Blue and yellow make green.
