Explain why chlorophyll appears green to our eyes.
On May 08, 2024
When the wavelengths of visible light enter the chlorophyll, the pigment molecules will absorb various wavelengths of light while reflecting back others. It is the reflected wavelengths that are interpreted by our brain as various colors. The wavelength spectrum absorbed by chlorophyll includes violet, indigo, blue, and red. The wavelength spectrum that is reflected back includes the greens, which is why we interpret chlorophyll as green.
