Question

Why is orange light the best for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

actually green light is the best for photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The majority of green light is useful in photosynthesis. The relative quantum efficiency curve (Photo 1) shows how efficiently plants use wavelengths between 300 and 800 nm. Green light is the least efficiently used color of light in the visible spectrum.

Answer 2

Generally you can say that plants absorb primarily red (or red/orange) and blue light. It's within the chloroplasts that all this light absorbing happens. The chloroplasts take the energy harnessed in these light rays and use it to make sugars for the plant to use in building more plant material = photosynthesis.
