What is the effect of green blue red and yellow light on plant growth?

Firstly, plants take in light depending on what colour it is. If it's green, it will just bounce right back off of the plant (This is because we see because of light of different colours reflecting off objects and our eyes receiving the light, which also explains why we can't see in absoloute dark)
The following a listed worst colour to use to best colour to use.
Plants don't like yellow. I'm not entirely sure why but I'm assuming it's because it's the main colour in green. So a plant with yellow light will either die as soon as they come out of the ground or grow about 2 inches before dying.
Plants don't like green either, but not as much as yellow for some reason.
Blue is the second best of all the colours to use. I'm also not sure about this, but I'm assuming it's because it's the minor colour in green.
Reds actually the best, since it in fact has (Almost) NOTHING to do with green at all.
However, it's best not to use cellophane and just leave it out in the sun if you're going to do an experiment with this like I did. It magnifies the light, thus burning the leaves slightly. I recommend simply using a coloured light bulb in a box.
Oh and all of that's only relevant if it's a green plant, by the way. If it's a reddy purple then I wouldn't expect red to turn up the best.

How does lamp-light effect plant growth?
Lamp light can positively affect plant growth just like any light. However, if the light is green, the plant will not absorb it because it reflects it. Artificial light can also cause some of the plant to grow closer to a light source, which is also known as phototropism.
Which has more energy green light or yellow light?
Green light. If you use the abbreviation ROY G. Biv ( red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you will always know that the red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to one another. So if the wavelength is large, frequency is small, and when wavelength is small, frequency is large. Green light has a smaller wavelength than yellow. Likewise it has a higher frequency than yellow does. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.
How does environment affect the inheritance green color trait in nicotiana?
The light effects the color inheritance of Nicotiana. If it doesn't have light it will turn out yellow If it has light it will turn out green. It needs chlorophil in order for it to have it's green pigment. Chlorophil is a green pigment implant that interacts with sunlight. The yellow plants does not have chlorophil, thats what makes them yellow
Will different light colors affect plant growth?
What light is best for green plantsYes, different colors will affect plant growth. If you are growing a green plant yourself either make sure your plant gets enough sunlight. Under green light your plant will not grow the best since green light will reflect on green plants, blue and red lights work more effectively in plant growth.
What cone cells absorb yellow light?
There are three types of cones on the retina, which respond most strongly to either red, green, or blue light. Your brain interprets light entering your eye as a certain color (in this case yellow) based on the ratio of red, green, or blue cones which are activated by the incoming light. Yellow light would activate green and red cones.
What is the effect of different colored lights on a grasses growth?
I would assume that: White would be most positive Magenta would be second Than Cyan/Yellow light Than Green light Than no light Green grass absorbs the most light from the colors in this order (Top->Bottom)
How do you carry out a controlled experiment testing of the effect of green light versus blue light on plant growth?
you dont
What does green and yellow make?
A vey light yellow green or slightly murky yellow.
What color or colors of light are transmitted by a piece of yellow glass?
Red and green light. Yellow glass transmits yellow light. Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. Therefore yellow glass transmits red and green light and absorbs blue light.
Is yellow light made is green light and blue light are mixed?
no, yellow and blue make green
Does yellow light have a greater frequency than green light?
Orange has a longer wavelength than yellow. On the spectrum of visible light red is longest and violet is shortest.
What has a greater frequency yellow light or green light?
green
What color do you get if you mix yellow and light blue?

When you are under a red light and it turns yellow can make a left turn then?
At least in the USA, a red light does not turn yellow. It turns green. A green light turns yellow, and then the yellow light turns red. IN THAT ORDER.
