The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chlorophyll**: Chlorophyll is the pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis. It plays a crucial role in absorbing light energy. 2. **Absorption Spectra**: Chlorophyll has a specific absorption spectrum, which indicates the wavelengths of light it can absorb. This spectrum includes various colors of light. 3. **Identifying Wavelengths**: The key wavelengths of light relevant to chlorophyll absorption are: - Red wavelength (long wavelength) - Blue wavelength (short wavelength) - Green wavelength 4. **Absorption Characteristics**: - Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue wavelengths effectively. - Chlorophyll does not absorb green wavelengths. 5. **Reflection of Green Light**: Instead of absorbing green light, chlorophyll reflects it. This reflection is what makes plants appear green to our eyes. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the absorption characteristics of chlorophyll, the correct answer to the question "Chlorophylls don't absorb this wavelength of light" is the green wavelength. **Final Answer**: Chlorophylls do not absorb the green wavelength of light. ---
