How do we know green light is not absorbed by chlorophyll?
◦ Green light has such a small wavelength that most of it goes straight through the leaves without interacting with the chlorophyll.
◦ Green light is the wavelength of light that is reflected instead of absorbed by the chloroplasts.
◦ Green light does not have enough energy to excite an electron in the photosystem.
◦ Not enough of the green light penetrates the ozone layer and makes it to the plant.
