The Wavelength of the Photons, Is That Correct?
So i'm picturing these photons, i guess, a bouncing off of different surfaces.

Do these photons a so, as i understand the spectrum defines th the speed of the photon. Is that correct? No, not the speed, it's the wave length. I bet they all travel at the speed of life inequall. But no, it's just a matter of absorption. And blue photons and red photons are very highly absorbed right in the surface of the leaf. They don't bounce off, so they don't penetrate the canopy
