Question

Do plants absorb green light?


Open in App
Solution

Green light:

  1. Greenlight is not generally absorbed by plants because its wavelength does not fulfill the minimum requirements for photosynthesis, making it inefficient.
  2. Plants need a light with a wavelength of 400-700 nm for efficient photosynthesis.
  3. Because green light is poorly absorbed by chlorophyll and is mostly reflected back, it is thought to be ineffective for plants.
