The absorption of light by chlorophyll, the pigment in plants that is responsible for converting light to useful energy, is shown in Figure P25.46. Two sharp peaks are visible in the violet and red parts of the spectrum (very little light is absorbed in the green part of the spectrum, which is why leaves appear green). What are the energies in eV of the photons that are absorbed at the two peaks?
