Plants absorb mainly red (650 nm) and blue (450 nm) wavelengths while reflecting mostly green. This is how the chlorophyll molecule responds to EM-waves, and the reason why plants appear green most of the time. Shown below are 3 hypothetical energy levels of the chlorophyll molecule. A) What is the difference in energy levels corresponding to red wavelengths? B) What is the difference in energy levels corresponding to blue wavelengths? C) If an electron “jumped" from energy level 3 to energy level 1, what wavelength photon would be emitted, and D) could our eyes detect this wavelength (use the spectrum shown below)? (650 nm = 650 x 10- m = 6.5 x 107 m) A) x10-19 J (Round to the hundredths place) B) x10-19 J (Round to the hundredths place) C) nm (Round to the nearest whole number) D) Type Y for Yes (we could detect this wavelength) and N for No.
