Which type of visible light is made available for plants grown under the clear, red, green, or blue plastic?

Clear plastic allows all wavelengths in the visible light to come through, so all wavelengths are available. Red plastic will absorb all wavelengths of the visible light except red, so only red light will be available for the plants to absorb. Likewise, green plastic only allows green light to reach the plants, and blue ...

  • Visible Light Spectrum Absorption

    Different colors of the visible light spectrum represent different frequencies, wavelengths, and levels of energy.

  • Chlorophyll and Accessory Pigments

    Visible light is one small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer the wavelength of visible light, the more red the color. Likewise the shorter wavelengths are towards the violet side of the spectrum.

  • Ultraviolet and infrared light

    Neither ultraviolet nor infrared are visible, but some wavelengths are close to being visible. Neither X-rays nor radio waves are anywhere near being close to visible.

  • Why is Uranus blue

    And since violet is at the edge of the visible spectrum, its intensity is the lowest of all the visible wavelengths. Now, all these photons reach uranus.

  • Statements about the Electromagnetic Spectrum

  • Dispersion of light: Color of least and most deviated rays.

    For the composite ray of light angle of incident for light of different wavelengths is same but the refractive index of the material of prism is different for light of different wavelengths. The deviation is more for greater refractive index.

  • Atmosphere and pollution

    The visible spectrum contains wavelengths between about 0.4 and 0.7 µm (400 and 700 nanometers, or nm). Radiation at wavelengths less than about 400 nm is ultraviolet and accounts for about 7% of total solar radiation.
