(a)
Interpretation:
The statement “dark leaves are associated with low intensity and pale green with high intensity” with the help of photon theory is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
According to the photon theory of light, a photon is defined as the discrete bundle of light energy. It has zero mass and rest mass.
Photon is the form of energy that possess momentum and has a constant
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in the composition of the leaf that leads to the color change of leaf is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
According to the photon theory of light, a photon is defined as the discrete bundle of light energy. It has zero mass and rest mass.
Photon is the form of energy that possess momentum and has a constant speed of light.
The chlorophyll is the green pigment that is present in the plant which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
