littleboy Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Can anyone explain why chlorophyll appears green? Does the green come from excited electrons excited by light(i.e photons with energy equal to the difference between orbitals are emitted)?
cypress Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 chlorophyll is green because it absorbs the much of the blue and red light but does not absorb the more abundant greens and yellows.
