Which light is absorbed maximum during photosynthesis?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Blue light
Plant pigment molecules absorb only light in the wavelength range of 700 nm to 400 nm, a photosynthetically active radiation range. While violet and blue have the shortest wavelengths with most energy, the chlorophyll a absorbs light from the blue violet region and chlorophyll b from the red blue region. making blue light the maximum absorbed during photosynthesis.
