Fibonacci sequence in Leaves
Have you ever wondered why the top view of a plant so pretty that you can view most of the leaves in an order ? I know we all spent time admiring its beauty and never asked ourselves why and how ? Let us cut the superficial ribbon and enter into the nerd world to find the profound theory behind it. Curious, huh? The leaf arrangement of a plant is actually mathematical! The pattern of the florets have the Fibonacci qualities . Plants do not know the Fibonacci sequence and it grows in its way. Then why this sequence is necessary for the leaf arrangement? The leaf arrangement has a term to describe called ' phyllotaxis '. The Fibonacci sequence can be linked with its advantage. The angle at which the adjacent leaves are positioned is 137.5°. If you divide a circle, where the ratio of the arc length is equal to the Golden ratio i.e. 1.619, the angle of the arcs would be 137.5°, which is known as the 'Golden angle'. The Fibonacci quality helps in creating...
