Plants require certain wavelengths of light in order to undergo photosynthesis effectively, which is crucial for their growth and development. Green light is reflected rather than absorbed by plants, leading to slower growth compared to red and blue light which are absorbed more easily. White light contains all wavelengths of light, so plants can still photosynthesize efficiently under white light. Ultimately, the lack of absorption of green light by plants can result in slower growth when compared to other light sources.
