What are the colors (of the electromagnetic spectrum) absorbed by plants? What would happen to photosynthesis if the green light waves that reach a vegetable were blocked?

Answer Posted / Dishant Vaish

Plants absorb red, blue, and violet light from the electromagnetic spectrum. If the green light waves that reach a plant are blocked, it can still carry out photosynthesis but not as efficiently because green light is one of the most effective wavelengths for this process. Plants would compensate by utilizing more red and blue light, but their growth rate may be slower.
