What is a hydrogen filter for a telescope?

A filter to let through certain wavelenghts of light. The wavelengths that Hydrogen is most active in. Other light does not get through so objects that "shine" in those wavelengths do not show in the image.

Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.


Are all wavelengths of light equal in phototropism?

 No. Different forms of phytochrome absorb different wavelengths of light. Different forms of phytochrome are scattered throughout the plant. This allows the plant to perceive different intensities, wavelengths, and quality of light. Hope that helped!


Why do photons of white light have different colours?

Photons of light have different colors because they have different energies resulting in different wavelengths. There is no such thing as white light - it is a mixture of all the various wavelengths - red, blue, green, etc. - and we perceive it as white.
