If 5 cuvettes containing spinach/DPIP solution are covered with different cups so that they absorb light of different wavelengths, then the cuvette with no filter will transmit the most orange light because it has been exposed to all white light and has the fastest rate of photosynthesis, followed by cuvettes under red cups, blue cups, green cups, and finally under the opaque cup because it has been exposed to no white light and has the slowest rate of photosynthesis. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which are corrected, show that the rate of photosynthesis of a spinach/DPIP solution with translucent red filter was faster than the rate of photosynthesis of a spinach/DPIP solution with no filter. However, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, which are expressed as means, show how

5 shows that the difference of transmittance of orange light through translucent red cups or no cups is due to chance because the p-value of their t-test is over 0.05. No matter what, this information refutes the hypothesis. Even though they are not consistent, only two out of five pieces support the above statement. However, data from another group does not correspond with above findings. D Band’s histogram shows how in their experiments, red light had the higher percent of orange light transmittance. These findings are very significant because they prove that red filters transmit the amount of light that a solution with no filter is exposed to, which initially was not obvious or rather surprising. However, some weaknesses of the experimental design included Fig 1 and Fig. 2 being corrected because some light was transmitted through the opaque cup’s solution. Another faulty aspect of the research involved some groups using clear instead of no filters for a cuvette. Other errors, ones which had nothing to do with the design, involved rearranging the assembly line of cuvettes too late and moving them too close to the white light. Also, one group entered slightly incorrect data which affected Fig. 3 and
