Detailed Solution
The action spectrum of photosynthesis and absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a does not show one to one overlap. Chlorophyll a absorbs more shorter wavelength of blue light and longer wavelength of red light. Chlorophyll b absorbs more longer wavelength of blue light and shorter wave length of red light. Carotenoids absorb blue light lesser than chlorophylls and almost do not absorb red light.
