    Here's a simple question ...

    -----------------
    I bet $ 100 that you do not answer it ...

    The grass absorbs all colors but green?

    But I want to know why it is always greener on the other side.

    The answer is correct, but correctness is only 10 percent

    Why is the grass green color absorbs?
    Let pogloshaet red ...

    It isn't. It is mostly blue.

    In Russia, the manure had not shoved under the grass ...
    She grows ...
    Green ...

    show me the blue grass ...
    I laugh

    Green is reflected, so that is what you see. So when you say an object is for instance blue, it really is every color BUT blue.

    WE have an election coming up, so we have more manure than Russia.

    You asked to see some blue grass, and I accommodated your desire.

    Oh my God!

    I was not the first time I've heard on the branch that substituting Green - Blue ...

    Where did you read this?

    Good...
    Laughed ...

    -------------------------
    Now back to the question:

    Why is the grass green?
    (Instead of red, blue or purple?)

    It's a matter of physics.
    To answer, we must know the laws as absorbed by the visible light spectrum ...
    The quantum physics

    I would say, the light wavelengths of not green, get the molecules vibrating, and so the wavelengths of nongreen, are turned into heat.

    Good answer..
    On why green?

    wave theory wrong

    Photosynthesis depends upon the absorption of light by pigments in the leaves of plants, or in this example a blade of grass.

    You'll notice in this chart [​IMG] that light with a wavelength in the green spectrum is not absorbed as much by the leaves/grass and is instead reflected. The rods and cones in our eyes pick up the reflected light having a wavelength of 495–570 nm...which we perceive as "green".

    Not sure why, but a property of chlorophyll.

    And now - listen to the correct answer ...

    Fundamental Physics, nothing more ...
    ================================================== =======
    The propagation of light is subject to:
    The wave theory of light, according to which light has the properties:
    - (Which do not relate to this problem, so do not write)
    -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
    The interaction of light with matter (light energy absorption) is subject to quantum theory, according to which:
    - The grass can not absorb light of any wavelength, and only certain ...
    - The grass can not absorb the energy of "continuous" and "rays", that is, the energy jumps ....
    -------------------------
    In quantum physics, energy is considered to be:
    E = x * and
    Planck's constant * The frequency of the light ...
    -------------------------------------------------- -

    Why is green, not red or blue?
    Fundamental Physics is not the answer.

    That's all...

    - - - Updated - - -

    What are you talking about?

    The green color is absorbed according to quantum mechanics.
    You draw me funny pictures.
    Give me the link...

    Mickey Mouse still add.

    Your question is asked and answered.

    You asked, why is grass green.

    I answered. Photosynthesis requires the absorption of light, however light with a wavelength in the green spectrum (495 -570nm) is reflected and the rods and cones in our eyes distinguish the reflected wavelengths of light from grass, as the color "green."

    As observers, we perceive grass as green. It's green because of photosynthesis and how light is absorbed and reflected,

    This is not a property of chlorophyll and wood property ..
    Wood takes quanta of light and forms chlorophyll ...

    There's nothing to "argue."

    Grass is perceived as green to the observer, in this case us.

    I suppose on a philosophical level, could we ask, is grass still green if no one is around to observe the reflected light?

    Ultimately the concept of "green" requires a sentient observer, the wavelength of reflected light exists whether someone observes it or not. An observer is required to define it as "green" however.

    guys, I responded to the problem of ...
    $ 100 no one will get.
    I had gone from a branch
