Question

True or false? leaves appear green because they absorb green wavelengths of light.

Answer 1

This statement is false. This is because the green light isn't absorbed. The leaves appear green because the chlorophyll of the leaves, the part that makes food, reflects the green light, which has a medium wave length. While reflecting green light waves, it simultaneously absorbs red waves (long waves) and blue waves (short waves)

Answer 2

The correct answer is false

Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light.

Do leaves absorb green wavelengths?

In the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Why can leaves absorb green light?

In conclusion, plant leaves are green because green light is less efficiently absorbed by chlorophylls a and b than red or blue light, and therefore green light has a higher probability to become diffusely reflected from cell walls than red or blue light. Chlorophylls do not reflect light.
