510 nm is a very special measure. \u00a0It happens to be the approximate wavelength of the color green. \u00a0You might remember from your school days that white light is made up of all the colors. \u00a0The infamous R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. was the mnemonic most of us used to remember the colors of the spectrum. \u00a0Unfortunately ROY lost his “I” when scientists made it clear there is no Indigo. \u00a0Indigo now resides in the dust heap of science history along with<\/span> Pluto<\/span> the planet. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the color green. \u00a0When we see something green, all of R.O.Y.G.B.V.’s colors are absorbed by the object except green light which bounces back to our eyes. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s so special about the color green? \u00a0Without it we would have no life on Earth. \u00a0The green pigment named chlorophyll is the key. \u00a0Plants use the beautiful green color to capture light from the Sun and then build food for the rest of us. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
