Green light is reflected from green leaves.
The wavelength of visible light ranges from about 400 to 800 nm. (That's about 400 thousand millionths of a metre.) Photosynthesis is highest in the red and yellow wavelengths.
ALL of the visible colors are, exceptgreen.
The color green absorbs all colors in the light spectrum besides green.
Red would be the one that is absorbed, leaving blue and yellow to be reflected off the surface making green.
blue and red
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, which contain pigments which absorb and reflect varying colors within the spectrum of visible light. The pigments in green plants absorb all colors of the visible light spectrum, except for green, which is reflected, giving the green color we see. The color of plants is dictated by which colors of the spectrum are reflected by the pigments in that particular plant's chloroplasts.
Plants are usually green in colour, due to chlorophyll. Objects appear the colour that they do not absorb, thus plants absorb all the colours in the spectrum except for green, it is reflected.
Chlorophyll reflects the green portion of the visible light spectrum, this is why most plants appear green in color
Plant appear green because they contain green pigment called chlorophyll. When sunlight fall on the leaves then chlorophyll absorb this light and some part of light reflected back and come into our eyes. So plants appears green.
green the pigments absorb every color in the light spectrum but green.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll in them.Chlorophyll absorb red and blue color wavelengths making them appear green.
The colors you see are actually the part of the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. For example, plants appear green because they absorb every color except for green, therefore the visible light that reflects from the surface of a plant only retains the green part of the spectrum.
Well there are actually different types of cholorophyll, and they absorb light from different parts of the spectrum, however the answer you are probably looking for is that they don't absorb light from the green part of the spectrum. This is in fact why photosynthesizing plants are green.
It depends on what kind of pigment the plant has. The color of the plant is reflected. That means every other color is obsorbed.
The chloroplasts in their cells contain chlorophyll pigments. These pigments absorb sunlight from all from all of the color spectrum except green. That light is used for photosynthesis and the green light is reflected back out and makes the plant look green.
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
blue and green light
Probably everything else that's not green.
Chlorophyllis an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light.Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion.However, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues.
The typical green/yellow wavelength (in about the middleof the visible color spectrum).
In order, the visible spectrum is violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Yellow is the color between green and orange.
