Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which wavelength of light is most effective for photosynthesis? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to make food using light.
  • Step 2: Know that chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that helps absorb light.
  • Step 3: Learn that different colors of light have different wavelengths.
  • Step 4: Identify that blue light has a shorter wavelength and is absorbed more effectively by chlorophyll.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because blue light is absorbed strongly, it is the most effective for photosynthesis.
