A spaceship is designed to support animal life for a multiyear voyage to the outer planets of the solar system. Plants will be grown to provide oxygen and to recycle carbon dioxide. Since the spaceship will be too far from the sun for photosynthesis, an artificial light source will be needed. Suppose a plant has a unique photosynthetic pigment and the leaves of this plant appear to be reddish yellow. What wavelengths of visible light are absorbed by this pigment? a. Red and yellow b. Blue and violet c. Green and yellow d. Green and red

Answer :

The wavelengths of visible light absorbed by this pigment because of which the leaves of the plant appear to be reddish yellow are (b) blue and violet.

Pigment is a substance found in plant parts that gives its leaves or flowers their characteristics color. These pigments absorb a light of some specific wavelength. They have the potential to change the color of reflected or transmitted light. Pigment always absorb those color of wavelengths that they do not reflect.

Wavelength is the distance between two crests or trough of a wave of light. In visible light, the range of wavelength lies between 400-700 nm. The color of light at wavelength 400 nm is violet whereas it is red at 700 nm.
