Wavelength on Raphanus Sativus Abstract: Light from the Sun is a full spectrum of different wavelengths of light. Scientists refer to this light as “white light”. When the wavelength of visible light changes‚ so does the color seen by the eye. The shortest wavelengths visible to the human eye are violet (400 nanometers). The longest wavelengths visible the human eye are red (700 nanometers). Each plant is affected differently by the changing wavelengths of light. The purpose of this experiment is to

In plants Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis‚ plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they produce‚ but most of it is released. In the Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo™‚ you can monitor
