Information that might be useful First Law of Thermodynamics: The total amount of energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed. Second law of thermodynamics: With every energy transfer or transformation, some energy is degraded (lost, or made less useful), increasing the disorder of the universe and decreasing the energy that is available to do work. The energy of a photon (E) = hc/dl/h = a constant (Planck's constant) c = the speed of light, 000the wavelength of light
b) Explaining, in terms of the laws of thermodynamics, why uv light that is absorbed by the pigments of an extracted leaf would be re-emitted as red light (hint see "information that might be useful" above). (2pt)
