Question

Chlorophyll mainly absorbs light of which wavelength?​

Answer 1

As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Answer :

In he absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Question : What wavelength does chlorophyll absorb light?

Answer :

All photosynthetic organisms have chlorophyll a which absorbs violet-blue and reddish orange-red wavelengths. Chlorophyll a reflects green and yellow-green wavelengths. Accessory photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll b and beta-carotene, absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.

Question : Under what 3 wavelengths of light does chlorophyll absorb the best?

Answer :

Chlorophyll a, which is present in all photosynthetic organisms, absorbs blue light with wavelengths of 430 nanometers (nm) and red light of 662 nm. It reflects green light, so that the plants that contain it appear green.

Question : What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb best?

Answer :

450 mm

All plants, however, has chlorophyll a, which absorbs most strongly at ~450 nm, or a bright blue color. This wavelength is strong in natural sunlight, and somewhat present in incandescent lights, but is very weak in traditional fluorescent lights.
