Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
Plants need a well-rounded spectrum of light for photosynthesis to occur efficiently. If only green light is used, it's not enough to meet the plant's energy needs. The plant would struggle to produce sufficient energy for growth, leading to droopy appearance as it tries to conserve energy.
Plants are green because they reflect green light more than any other part of the color spectrum, therefore if a plant is only exposed to green light it will reflect.
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
White light is a mixture of different colors. Different materials have different surface properties; as a result, one material may reflect a larger percentage of red light, and a smaller percentage of other colors, such as blue or green light - thus, it will appear red. Another material may reflect more green light than other colors, so it will appear more green.
Plants primarily reflect green light, which is why they appear green to our eyes. They absorb other colors of light, particularly blue and red, for photosynthesis.
Blue objects appear blue because they absorb most colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflect blue light. This means that blue objects absorb the other colors of light (such as red and green) and transmit or reflect the blue light, giving them their characteristic color.
When you shine a green light on a green object, the object will reflect the green light and appear brighter or more vivid in color. Green objects absorb most of the other colors of light and reflect green light, so they will be most visibly affected by green light.
When you shine yellow light onto a green surface, the surface will absorb the yellow light and reflect green light. This is because the surface appears green due to its ability to reflect green light while absorbing other colors.
because it reflects green light and absorbs the other visible wavelengths
Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
Plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, but they do not absorb color in the same way humans perceive it. Plants appear green because they reflect green light and absorb other colors for energy production.
No, yellow reflects light instead of absorbing it. Yellow objects appear yellow because they reflect yellow light wavelengths and absorb other colors.
When light shines on green paper, the paper absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum but reflects green wavelengths back to our eyes. This is why we perceive the paper as green. The green color is determined by the pigment molecules in the paper that absorb all other colors except green.
Green light is poorly absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis. Therefore, green light is not as efficient at driving the photosynthetic process compared to other wavelengths of light. This is why plants appear green, as they reflect green light rather than using it for energy production.
Green absorbs red and blue colors. This means that green objects appear green because they reflect green light and absorb all other colors.
A lemon would appear green under green light because the object reflects the color of light that it does not absorb. In this case, a lemon's yellow color would absorb all other colors except green, which it would reflect.
