Not only flowers of plants but also their fruits and leaves are dyed due to pigments. In this experiment, the different pigments of flowers and leaves are investigated. This experiment is performed with a colorimeter. This device sends light of a certain wavelength through a solution and measures by how much the intensity has decreased after passing through the solution.
