Why does chlorophyll appear red in reflected light and green in transmitted light? Explain the significance of these phenomena in terms of photosynthesis. |
| Answer» In reflected light, the chlorophyll appears red because of fluorescence. The light absorbed by chlorophyll molecules loses its energy and emitted as red photons. In transmitted light, chlorophyll appears green because it absorbs other lights except green. | |
