Higher wavelenghs of the visible light spectrum are best absorbed by chlorophyll.

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.
Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except?
Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.
Red and blue light support the highest rates of photosynthesis because?
The rate of photosynthesis is maximum in blue light because the chlorophyll absorbs more light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelength. In addition, chlorophyll also absorbs light in the red region.
What pigment reflects orange yellow and red and absorbs the other colors to provide energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll reflects red and yellow light.
Absorbs wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll?
carotenoids :]
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.
Why does chlorophyll look green?
It absorbs all other wavelengths of visible light.
Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
Compare And Contrast Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from most wavelengths of violet/blue and orange/red. Chlorophyll b is more soluble that chlorophyll a in polar solvents and more yellow in color. It absorbs most energy from blue light.
What wavelengths does carotene absorb?
Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except?
Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.
What color wavelengths of light do chlorophyll appear to look like?
It depends upon the type of chlorophyll. Chorophyll a absorbs light at 680 and 700 nm.
What colored chemical compounds absorbs light?
Many chemical substances absorb light.
Red and blue light support the highest rates of photosynthesis because?
The rate of photosynthesis is maximum in blue light because the chlorophyll absorbs more light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelength. In addition, chlorophyll also absorbs light in the red region.
How do wavelengths absorbed by a can difffer from the wavelengths re-radiated from the can?
I'm pretty sure that when the can absorbs the wavelengths, the wavelengths are much warmer, infrared waves. Then, when the can re-radiate, the waves are much cooler. But, I could be wrong.
What pigment reflects orange yellow and red and absorbs the other colors to provide energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll reflects red and yellow light.
