Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum.Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants.hlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum.
Chlorophyll a is the only light-absorbing pigment in reaction centers. Associated with each reaction center are multiple light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), which contain chlorophylls a and b, carotenoids, and other pigments that absorb light at multiple wavelengths.hlorophyll a also absorbs light at discrete wavelengths shorter than 680 nm (see Figure 16-37b). Such absorption raises the molecule into one of several higher excited states, which decay within 10 â12 seconds (1 picosecond, ps) to the first excited state P*, with loss of the extra energy as heat.
