Physics We Have The Absortion Spectrum Of The Chlorophyll Let S Say Chlorophyll A The Question Is This Why It Is Th 1 (7.36 KiB) Viewed 47 times

The question is this: why it is that in the absorption spectrum
of chlorophyll, one of the bands has greater intensity than the
other? In other words, why the red band has a greater intensity
than the blue band? Yes, in terms of the absorbance i know that
A=log(I0/I) (where I0 is the intensity
of the light before it hits the chlorophyll and I is the intensity
after it hits it), so i know that if the blue light has less
intensity than the red light, it means that the blue light
gets more "absorbed" that the red light. I'm asking if
there is another reason behind the question "why it is that in the
absorption spectrum of chlorophyll, one of
the bands has greater intensity than the other?"
