Came to know about a new reason for the Green color of leaves...

                              ( Pic Credit : https://www.instagram.com/capture._.d/  ) We all know that, the Leaves are green because of the color pigment called Chlorophyll, and it means that it is reflecting the Green color. But, why the chlorophyll chose a Green color over the entire visible spectrum? The reason is like this: The sunlight consists of all the wavelengths of visible light, but this Greenlight has the major energy content among them, and for the plants, that Greenlight energy is so much to absorb that it's internal systems will damage with that energy. So, they have evolved to reflect that energy, and hence, they look Green to us.. If you want similar fun facts, and recent studies you can tune into the "Curiosity daily" podcast.
