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.There are various types of chlorophyll structures, but plants contain chlorophyll a and b. These two types of chlorophyll differ only slightly, in the composition of a single side chain.reen light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Photosynthesis is driven by the use of a pigment or molecule that absorbs a specific wavelength of energy. In this case, the primary pigment is chlorophyll, which is a pigment that absorbs blue and red wavelengths while reflecting green wavelengths.he electromagnetic spectrum is the range of wavelengths from the radio waves of your car stereo to high-energy gamma rays. Chlorophyll and other pigments absorb specific visible wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible light is literally the colored wavelengths that are visible to your eyes.
