What else can I help you with?
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb best?
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
What wavelengths of light does chorophyll a asborb best?
Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs light in the blue (450-480 nm) and red (650-700 nm) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This absorption allows chlorophyll a to participate in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy for the plant.
What parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb the best?
There are two wave lengths that are absorbed well. Red and blue colors are the best.
Which parts of spectrum do carotenoids absorb best?
blue and green light
Which best explains the relationship the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
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.
Which best explains the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
The absorption spectrum for chlorophyll reveals that it?
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.
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
Where in the electromagnetic spectrum are pulsars best observed?
Pulsars are best observed in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is because their strong radio emission allows them to be detected and studied using radio telescopes. However, pulsars have also been observed at other frequencies, including X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths.
What wavelengths of light does chorophyll a absorb best?
Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs red and blue light wavelengths most efficiently, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green. This absorption spectrum allows chlorophyll a to capture the energy needed for photosynthesis.
What is the optimum wavelength of light absorbed by chlorophyll and why?
The optimum wavelength of chlorophyll is 430nm (in a light spectrum of 380nm-750nm going in 10 incements) We did a lab and it required us to determine the optimum wavelength of chlorophyll by testing the absorbance of light in 10nm increments from 380nm-750nm. Optimum wavelength is the wavelength of light that is absorbed best by a substance. So when we tested all the wavelngths 380-750 in 10 increments (380,390,400,410,420....) 430 had the highest absorbance. we used a Spec 20 machine to find the absorbance.
