Green light isn't used for photosynthesis. Green light is reflected by 
chlorophyl. Chlorophyl absorbs red and blue light which are also the main 
light wave lengths used in photosynthesis. Green and yellow light are not 
used as much for photosynthesis but your eye is most sensitive to green and 
yellow light. that is why a light source can look dim to you but be great for 
plants.
