Things we see in our real life are just a part of complete electromagnetic spectrum which falls under visible region. This spectrum of frequencies is usually captured by our eyes and hence visible. There is also a lot of frequencies which are invisible to naked eyes. The part of spectrum used by our mobile phones are usually imperceptible.
Regarding plants, when a plant grows up, it uses light, water and carbon dioxide to produce their own food and oxygen. Sun is the biggest source which gives us light of sufficient energy to undergo photosynthesis. We knew that white light is a blend of seven colours, but all of the spectrum isn't accepted by plants, most of the red and blue spectrum is utilised by plants during photosynthesis and only a part of green and yellow are utilised and hence either reflected or refracted which gives their characteristic green colour. Based on energy requirement, different plants relflect different wavelengths of light spectrum which give rise to different colors in decorative plants. Also, infrared light is reflected by plants, since they are outside the visible spectrum, they are invisible to human eyes. The visible part for bees is quite different than humans, scientific research proves that they are able to see UV rays but couldn’t see red light which means that bees would see the world in a completely different perspective.
Different coloured light help plants achieve different goals as well.
Blue light, on the other hand, stimulates stomatal opening for breathing and aids leaf expansion and flowering.
Red is the key component that plants need to photosynthesise and inhibit stem elongation.
Here, arises a question if normal LED bulbs can help plant to grow indoors?
Yes, but only to a certain extent, since these light bulbs doesn’t provide sufficient energy to help photosynthesis, it is always recommended to use grow lights specifically designed for plant growth. Cool fluorescent light is great for cultivating plant indoors. If you are also the one obsessed with plants like mine, hope this help you understand plants more scientifically.
Hope you guys, liked the reading.
