Why the rate of Photosynthesis is higher in red light while the rate of absorption is highest of blue light? Blue light is absorbed not only by chlorophyll, but also by carotenoids, and some carotenoids are not in the chloroplasts; further, carotenes and xanthophylls make up the carotenoids.

Answer:

A scientist by the name of Emerson proved that maximum rate of photosynthesis takes place at red and blue rays.  

Explanation:

This experiment is known by the name of Emerson Enhancement Experiment. In this experiment, photosynthesis in green plants containing chlorophyll is increased by exposing them to lights of wavelength 680 nanometer (which is deep red spectrum) and more than 680 nanometer (far red spectrum).

At this wavelength, the PS700 system of the plant gets activated to form only ATP, which results in faster photosynthesis.
