Green leaves appear green because they absorb most colors of light in the visible spectrum, except for green light which is reflected. Blue light is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the leaf, contributing to the process of photosynthesis.

What color is blue sky under green light?

The blue sky would appear green under green light because the green light would dominate the color seen by our eyes. The color of the sky is determined by the light that is reflected off of it, so when green light is shone on a blue sky, the green light will be the dominant color that is reflected.


Who made colors?

Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.


How a shirt can look green though the light falling on it contains red blue and green?

The shirt appears green because it absorbs red and blue light wavelengths, while reflecting the green wavelengths back to our eyes. Our eyes perceive the reflected green light and interpret it as the color green, even though the shirt is being illuminated by red, blue, and green light simultaneously. This phenomenon is due to the way colors are absorbed and reflected by the fabric of the shirt.

What color of light is reflected by the chlorophyll molecule?

Chlorophyll mainly reflects green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes. The molecule absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the spectrum for photosynthesis.


Why is the Light from your plants Green?

plant leaves consist of chlorophyll pigments. pigment absorbs particular wavelength for the energy production blue, orange other wavelength light absorbed by pigments but not green light. green light not absorbed so it reflected back. our eyes detect the reflected green light so plants light green.


Green light shines on a blue surface What color is the reflected light?

When green light is shined onto a blue surface the color that reflects back into your eye is a dark Greeny Brown this is because all of the other colours of the spectrum are absorbed.
