The chlorophyll absorbs the light in red, green light is not absorbed which is reflected in making the plant appear green.
Explanation:
Hence the green light is transmitted not the red light. This phenomenon of reflectance and transmittance is used widely. The chlorophyll is the green pigment that is present in the thylakoid membrane of the plant cell.
They undergo photosynthesis and hence provide the green coloration to leaf. This is the reason for chlorophyll to appear red in reflected light and green in transmitted light.
