Answer:

Plants absorb both red and purple light waves, however because purple wavelengths are shorter, they contain more energy. The green pigment involved in photosynthesis is chlorophyll . Chlorophyll is green in appearance because it absorbs red and blue light, making these colours unable to be seen.

Done!!!
