Tabitha Mercado · Answer 1

the green waves get reflected

Explanation:

Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll ... As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.
