Light absorption by a pigment is measured for red blue green and yellow light what is the dependent and the independent variable?

The light absorption is dependent on the measurement of the red, blue, green and yellow light ( which is the independent variable ).


What is the difference in terms of reflection between objects that appear blue and objects that appear yellow?

Blue is hot yellow is not


What is the difference between reflection and absorption?

Reflection is when a wave of light bounces away from the material, depending on the material it may maintain its strength. However absorbtion is when the beam of light hits a material and does not bounce back. To explain why light does not bounce back (becomes absorbed) you will need to know about the colour spectrum. A wave of white light contains, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Certain coloured materials will absorb and reflect certain colours of the colour spectum. So say we aim our wave of light at a black filter. Black will absorb every colour in the colour spectum, thus not allowing for any reflection.

Why do plants absorb blue light?

The maximum output of the sun is in the yellow which is also within the absorption range of chlorophyll. It is this emission/capture intersection that is of the most importance to the plant as that is where the maximum available energy is to be had. All other absorption/reflection aspects of the chemical are of lesser importance and are just what they are. It would be nice if the photochemical of plants was pure black and absorbed all wavelengths but the plant kingdom never evolved such a mixture.
