Chlorophyll absorbs:
Red light wavelength 650 nm
some Orange light 590 nm
some Yellow light 570 nm
Blue light 475 nm
Indigo light 445 nm
Violet light 400 nm
It reflects green light 510 nm.
[The spectral region where the least light is absorbed is between , between 500-600nm.]
An absorption spectrum is a spectrum of radiant energy whose intensity at each wavelength is a measure of the amount of energy at that wavelength that has passed through a selectively absorbing substance, here chlorophyll.
Note that both chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color.
When using the electromagnetic spectrum, Chlorophyll is shown to absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the spectrum. After blue, red would be the next strongest with green and near green portions its weakest. This explains the green color of Chlorophyll tissues.
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors except for green (green is reflected and therefore visible).
Also, chlorophyll in photosystem II, or p680 absorbs predominantly red light, and chlorophyll in photosystem I, known as p700 absorbs blue light the best. But as stated above, both reflect green light giving photosynthetic plants their green color.
The absorption spectrum in chlorophyll is a chart of what colors of light a plant absorbs the most of. In most cases, the plant absorbs a lot of red and blue, but reflects green.
Other than green part of visible light is absorbed by chlorophyll during photosynthesis
All the visible light spectrum EXCEPT green.

some of the light from the corona produces a continuous spectrum that lacks absorption lines. however the type is absorption spectrum
absorption lines! :)
The absorption spectrum shows which wave lengths are absorbed in each individual type of chlorophyll. The action spectrum shows which wavelengths of light are most effective for photosynthesis.
orange red and violet blue
Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.
No, its an absorption spectrum
There are a four main photosynthetic pigments in green plants. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll. These all absorb different areas of the spectrum therefore allowing the plant maximum absorption of light from the sun, and hence photosynthesise effectively.
The absorption spectrum of an atom shows that the atom emits that spectrum which it absorbs.
In the absorption spectrum the peaks are due to preferential absorption at a definite wavelength by molecules, ions, etc.

The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
