Question
Rabiya and her group mates are trying to interpret the graph given below during one of their skills sessions. They had previously looked at graphs that showed absorbance
plotted over different wavelengths. However, the graph below shows reflectance data (% of light reflected) measured by a STS-VIS spectrophotometer from 400 to 800nm using
a regular light source. The average data from white leaves is represented by the dashed red line and average data from green leaves is represented by the solid black line.
Obviously, the white leaves do not have the same amount of chlorophyll as green leaves. Note the wavelengths for each color: blue (400-490 nm), green (500-570 nm) and red
(640-700 nm).
