Question

The chlorophyll absorbs light in the range of visible light.

• A. $400$nm-$500$nm
• B. $600$nm-$800$nm
• C. $400$nm-$500$nm and $600$nm-$700$nm
• D. $300$nm-$400$nm

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$400$nm-$500$nm and $600$nm-$700$nm

• Chlorophyll a has approximate absorbance maxima of 430 nm and 662 nm, while chlorophyll b has approximate maxima of 453 nm and 642 nm.
  

So, the correct answer is '400nm-500nm and 600nm-700nm'
