The visible spectrum is typically between 390-700nm. Shorter wavelengths are responsible for the purple end of the color spectrum, while red is perceived in the eye from the longer wavelengths. 
-carotene is able to absorb light at a maximum value of 497nm.
-carotene is found in carrots. What would need to happen to 
-carotene in order for the color of carrots to become more yellow?
The visible spectrum is typically between 390-700nm. Shorter wavelengths are responsible for the purple end of the color spectrum, while red is perceived in the eye from the longer wavelengths.
The wavelength of light absorbed by a pigment is related to the number of conjugated double bonds in the molecule. The eye will begin to perceive color when the number of conjugated double bonds in a molecule becomes around eight. At this point, the color yellow can be perceived by the eye. In order for 
-carotene to give carrots a more yellowish color, it must have a change in the number of conjugated double bonds so that the pigment absorbs a shorter wavelength of light. This way, it will emit complementary light with a wavelength closer to yellow on the visible spectrum.
