An unknown plant has a unique pigment molecule with a photosynthetic action spectrum that is the opposite of green plants. (That is, the pigment molecule absorption spectrum for Halobacterium has a peak where the green plant action spectrum has a trough) What wavelengths of light does this unknown plant absorb? For your reference, the absorption spectrum for a green plant is shown below:
