find out if the color of light a plant receives‚ affects the plant growth. Light is electromagnetic radiation that comes in waves‚ the basic units of which are called photons. Plants use light to turn carbon dioxide into sugars necessary for growth‚ a process called photosynthesis. Sunlight is a full spectrum of different wave lengths of light. Seen through a prism‚ this spectrum turns into bands of color: red‚ orange‚ yellow‚ green‚ blue‚ indigo and violet. (Stern‚ 2004). The light of the sun is

Growth of Plant under Different Colored Light Problem: Does the color of light affect the plant growth? Hypothesis: Red color will have the most impact on the plant growth‚ meanwhile; black will have the least impact on the plant growth Variables: • Dependent Variable is the color of light • Independent Variable is the type of plant used Materials/Apparatus: • Plants (of the same type) • Water • Ruler • Colored Construction Paper • Colored Transparent Print Paper • Lamp with Incandescent

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 test the effects of different wavelengths

The Affect of Different Colored Light on Plant Growth Puprose: Just as we are happier and healthier when we receive adequate sunlight‚ so are the plants and vegetation that we grow. Sunlight‚ or other means of artificial lighting is essential to help a plant grow into maturity. It is also necessary in aiding the plant to get the nutrients it requires to mature into a strong healthy plant. The process of the sun or other light helping to feed the plant is called photosynthesis. The light acts

The Effect of Different Colored Light on Plant Growth Results I measured each plant on days 7‚ 9‚ 11‚ 13‚ 15‚ 20‚ and 32‚ after planting. The plants under the green cellophane grew the most in every measurement. The biggest growth spurt for the plants under the green cellophane was from day seven to day nine. By day 13‚ the plants under the purple and red cellophane started to grow at similar rates as compared with those under the green cellophane. By day 32‚ the plants underneath the green

this project is “Do Different Music Genres Affect Plant Growth?” The purpose is to test how different music genres affect plant growth. The test may or may not validate the hypothesis made‚ that the plants exposed to classical music will be effected in a more positive way than the plants which are exposed to hardcore music. The procedure is as follows: Nine dyanthus flowers are separated into three groups: classical music‚ control group‚ and hardcore music. Every morning plants are watered and

Colour of Light Effects on Plant Growth Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Plants need water‚ Co2 and light energy to create sugar. Photosynthesis occurs mainly in leaves and in 2 phases: light reaction and dark reaction. The light reactions converts light energy to chemical (Biology.clc.uc.edu‚ 2014). This chemical reaction must take place in the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll (the green pigment involved

How does the colour of light affect the growth of a plant and which light is best The problem will be investigated is how does colour of light affect the plant growth and what colour is best in terms of speed of the growth of the plant By using the internet I discovered that the problem that I am trying to solve has been done before by various people. As I read the information given off the web it seems that plants that can only absorb certain types of colour of light for example blue or red

Influence of light on the growth of young tomato‚ cucumber and sweet pepper plants in the greenhouse: effects on relative growth rate‚ net assimilation rate and leaf area ratio. Scientia Hortic.‚ 31: 161-174. Tomato‚ cucumber and sweet pepper were sown in a greenhouse at regular intervals throughout the year. A relationship between the relative growth rate (RGR) of these young plants and the mean daily light integral ( PAR incoming per unit ground area) could be calculated for each species.
