Since yellow is only weakly absorbed by the pigments, the plant will grow slowly if at all. Violet, blue and some red light is most strongly absorb.

How would a light grow in pure yellow light?
the plant would die
How well would a plant grow under pure yellow light and explain?
It would not grow well at all since yellow is not the wave length of light that plants use to photosynthesize.
Does the yellow light affect plant growth?
it helps the plant grow
Would a plant grow without light?
no, a plant would not grow without light
Would a plant exposed to only yellow light grow well?
No, it shouldn't do. In the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll (overall), yellow light is very low. This shows that not much light and hence energy is absorbed by the plant and therefore, not as much photosynthesis can occur.
How well would a plant grow under a yellow light?
Most plant life needs full spectrum lighting. In early stages of a flowering plant, it would need a blue and green spectrum (achieved with usually metal halide light) and then switched over to a red and orange spectrum (using high pressure sodium lighting). Growing a plant under pure yellow light will most likely make the plant grow quickly, but wiry - the stem will get really long and the top of the plant will most likely fall over eventually). It depends on the plant. Pure yellow light uses the red/orange spectrum and cacti do well in this type of lighting. Houseplants (which prefer blue/green spectrum) would most likely do poorly in "pure yellow light".

Can a bean grow with different color light?
Beans can grow with restricted light spectrum. Green plants grow best in blue and red light. Green and yellow light is not absorbed by the green plant but reflected.
Do plants grow well with yellow light?
Since yellow is only weakly absorbed by the pigments, the plant will grow slowly if at all. Violet, blue and some red light is most strongly absorb.
Do plants grow better under blue green or red light?
It grows better with red light. Green light will kill your plant.
How would a plant react if only exposed to red light?
The plant would never flower, it needs blue light to flower but it would grow normally....
What happens to a plant in a dark room?
Plants in the dark receive no light and the plants need the light. They grow because the production of growth hormones is stimulated by the dark/suppressed by sunlight. This is why plants in the dark grow much more than plants in the light. (They will turn yellow because they are not receiving enough sunlight to produce chlorophyll to make the plant green. They will become unhealthy and eventually die.) It is also why plants in a sunny window "lean" toward the light. The side of the plant that is in the shade is producing more growth hormones.
