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.
What else can I help you with?
What color wavelengths of light do plants primarily absorb?
Different plants absorb different colors. Even different parts of plants absorb different colors. The color you see the plant as is the color being reflected rather than absorbed by the plant.
Why are there few blue-colored plants?
Plants generally appear green due to chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis. Blue pigmentation in plants is less common because it absorbs less light for photosynthesis compared to green pigments. Also, blue light is less prevalent in the natural environment, so blue pigments may offer less of an advantage for plant survival.
Red and blue will absorb the same light?
Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
Why are there few blue colored plants?
Plants absorb blue light well.
What color of light is not absorbed by plants?
Green
Why does the earth absorb blue light?
why plants appear green.it
What does a blue light give off to a plant?
blue light can kill plants because the light is too dark for plants to absorb. also, the plant cant absorb much light in blue light. last week, i tried an experiment and in 10 lessons at school, its died when it was covered in blue cellophane as light.
What color wavelengths of light do plants primarily absorb?
Different plants absorb different colors. Even different parts of plants absorb different colors. The color you see the plant as is the color being reflected rather than absorbed by the plant.
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
Does the color blue absorb light?
No, the color blue does not absorb light. In fact, blue objects appear blue because they reflect blue light and absorb other colors.

Red and blue will absorb the same light?
Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
What colored compound in plants that absorbs light?
Plants absorb more blue and red light from sunlight, and less green light. Chlorophyll is green, because it reflects green light
Blue doesn't absorb what color?
Blue does not absorb blue light; rather, it reflects blue light, giving it its color.
Carolenoids absorb what?
Carotenoids absorb light in the blue and ultraviolet range of the spectrum, which helps to protect plants from excess light damage and contributes to the red, orange, and yellow colors seen in fruits and vegetables.
Do plants absorb all types of light, yes or no?
No, plants do not absorb all types of light.
What color of light do plants primarily reflect?
Most terrestrial plants reflect the color green. The photosyntehtic parts of plants tend to absorb the color red.
