Photosynthesis In Higher Plants Question 146
Question: The most effective wavelength of visible light in photosynthesis is in the region of [AFMC 1989, 2003; MP PMT 1989, 2000; CPMT 1990, 2000; DPMT 1986, 87, 2004; CBSE PMT 1999; RPMT 1999; Kerala CET 2003]
Options:
A) Violet is a color in the visible spectrum with a wavelength between approximately 380 and 450 nanometers. It is often associated with the transition between blue and purple.
B) Green is a color in the visible spectrum with a wavelength between approximately 490 and 570 nanometers.
C) Yellow is a color.
Red
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Green and red regions of the light spectrum are the most effective in photosynthesis.
Blue wavelengths of light carry more energy while red wavelengths have lesser energy.
Therefore, the most efficient wavelengths of light effective in photosynthesis are those in the visible spectrum.
