What role does visible light, within the electromagnetic spectrum, play in providing the energy for photosynthesis?
Visible light within the electromagnetic spectrum plays a crucial role in providing the energy needed for photosynthesis. Specifically, plants use the energy from visible light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This process is essential for plants to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.

What is the relation between the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll?
Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.
Why can we only see visible light and not other forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We can only see visible light because our eyes are sensitive to the wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as infrared and ultraviolet light, have wavelengths that are either too long or too short for our eyes to detect.
What is the Electric magnetic light spectrum?
The electro-magnetic spectrum is the range of radio waves of increasing frequency until our senses can perceive them as heat waves in the infra-red, visible light from red through violet, then invisible ultra-violet, increasing in frequency to X-rays and gamma rays.
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
Do people can see the ultraviolet rays of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No, it's the other way around; all of the wavelengths of ultraviolet fall on the electromagnetic spectrum. "Electromagnetic" energy includes everything from "radio" to "gamma rays" and beyond. If you multiply the frequency in Hertz (or "cycles per second") times the wavelength in meters, it will always equal the speed of light, "c", which is (approximately) 30,000,000 meters per second. So "radio" is fairly long wavelength, and a low frequency; standard AM radio in the 1000 KHz band has a "wavelength" of about 30 meters. VHF ("Very High Frequency") TV signals (for those of you old enough to remember "over the air TV") was at about 150 megahertz, with a wavelength of 2 meters, while UHF TV ("Ultra-High Frequency") was still higher frequencies - and shorter wavelengths. "Radar" is in the millimeter wavelength; "Micro"-wave radiation is a much higher frequency, and a very "micro" wavelength. (The original brand name of "microwave oven" was called "Radar Range".) There are three bands of "light" in there; the "heat" or "infra-red" light with frequencies lower than visible light (which are below the color red in the spectrum), then "visible" light that our eyes is sensitive to, and then "ultra-violet" or UV light, the spectrum above ("ultra") the violet spectrum of light. Beyond that are X-rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays, and categories that haven't been named yet. This is _ALL_ "electromagnetic energy". Only a tiny sliver of this is "ultraviolet".
The section of the electromagnetic spectrum used for photosynthesis is?
visible light
What sections of the electromagnetic spectrum does photosynthesis utilize?
most of the visible light except green
What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is The relationship between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
is the the visible spectrum occupies most of the electromagnetic and sonar spectrum?
The visible spectrum is a tiny, almost negligible slice of the electromagnetic spectrum. 'Sonar' has no place in this discussion. It's not even electromagnetic.
Is visible light electromagnetic?
Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.
How is the electromagnetic and visible spectrum related?
The visible spectrum is one band within the full range of electromagnetic radiation.
What is spectrum light?
Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is not visible.
What is a spectrum light?
Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is not visible.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wavelength in between infrared and uv?
The band of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a wavelength between infrared and ultraviolet is the visible light spectrum. This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye and includes colors such as red, green, and blue.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
Yes, the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths between approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. This range is a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
