Determining a chlorophyll a wavelength

A reflectance spectrum, which reveals the level to which different wavelengths of electromagnetic energy are reflected, is shown below for chlorophyll a over the visible light range. Move the slider to indicate the wavelength range that would be expected to allow for good detection of a phytoplankton bloom from space based on reflection of chlorophyll a.
