Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that what color of light is the least effective in driving photosynthesis and why.

Introduction:

The unit of light is frequency or wavelength. The light range of 430-770 nanometer(nm) can be detected by human eye and these lights are known as visible light. The VIBGYOR spectrum of light falls in this range of visible light wavelength. The photosystem complex which is present inside the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast absorbs this spectrum of light that helps in driving the photosynthesis.
