Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A plant’s leaves are green because the color green is ____ back to our eyes.
A
Absorbed
B
Reflected
C
Transmitted
D
None of the Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, plants and their leaves look green because the “special pair” of chlorophyll molecules uses the red end of the visible light spectrum to power reactions inside each cell. The unused green light is reflected from the leaf and we see that light.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is released by the plant into the air. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green.

Detailed explanation-3: -Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: The colour of the pigment comes from the wavelength of the light they reflect. The green leaves absorb all wavelength except the light of 550nm wavelength, i.e green colour in the visible range. So, the green wavelength is reflected by the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Colored objects look the way they do because of reflected light. When sunlight is shined on a green leaf, the violet, red and orange wavelengths are absorbed. The reflected wavelengths appear green.
