Question

what happens when chlorophyll and other pigments absorb light

Answer 1

not yet.

Answer 2

in my own words, when pigments absorb light, they absorb all the colors of the visible light (ROYGBIV) except for one color. That color, they reflect back and they form the colors we see. For example, in chlorophyll, it is the green pigment of plants. When sunlight hits the chlorophyll, the chlorophyll will absorb red, yellow, orange, blue, indigo and violet colors, but will reflect back green. That's why we see plants as green.
