14
Absorption vs. Reflection
15
Chloroplasts REFLECTING Green Light
White light Refracting prism Chlorophyll solution Photoelectric tube Galvanometer 100 The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light. Slit moves to pass light of selected wavelength Green light
16
Chlorophyll ABSORBING Blue light to power photosynthesis
White light Refracting prism Chlorophyll solution Photoelectric tube 100 Slit moves to pass light of selected wavelength The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light. Blue light
17
Chloroplasts absorbing the blue and the red light waves
Chloroplasts absorbing the blue and the red light waves. The green is NOT being absorbed.
18
