The wavelengths that produced the highest absorbtion by pigment A are the range from 400-450 nm, with our peak at 425 nm. This means that more violet and blue light is absorbed and used in food production by the plant than light of other colors. In contrast the lowest absorbtion range fell between 625-700 nm indicating that more of this red colored light is transmitted and not beneficial to carrying out photosynthesis in the plant. According to our hypothesis the range we expected to have the lowest absorbtion was 475-525 nm because that green light is what common spinach transmits. From our research we know that photosynthesis cannot be carried out in green light wavelengths so it is transmitted as opposed to absorbed and why most plants look green.
