An action spectrum is a graph of the rate of biological effectiveness plotted against wavelength of light. [1] It is related to absorption spectrum in many systems. Mathematically, it describes the inverse quantity of light required to evoke a constant response.
Photochemical action plots are a scientific tool used to understand the effects of different wavelengths of light on photochemical reactions.The methodology involves exposing a reaction solution to the same number of photons at varying monochromatic wavelengths, monitoring the conversion or reaction yield of starting materials and/or reaction products.
Phototropism in Solanum lycopersicum. In biology, phototropism is the growth of an organism in response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi. The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light contain a hormone called auxin that reacts when phototropism ...
In astronomy, the term spectrophotometry refers to the measurement of the spectrum of a celestial object in which the flux scale of the spectrum is calibrated as a function of wavelength, usually by comparison with an observation of a spectrophotometric standard star, and corrected for the absorption of light by the Earth's atmosphere.

Phototropin: blue and UV-A light perception (to mediate phototropism and chloroplast movement) Zeitlupe: blue light entrainment of the circadian clock; Phytochrome: red and far-red light reception; All the photoreceptors listed above allow plants to sense light with wavelengths range from 280 nm (UV-B) to 750 nm (far-red light).
6 H 2 O + 6 CO 2 + energy → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 where C 6 H 12 O 6 is glucose (which is subsequently transformed into other sugars , starches , cellulose , lignin , and so forth). The value of the photosynthetic efficiency is dependent on how light energy is defined – it depends on whether we count only the light that is absorbed, and on ...
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) spans the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from 400 to 700 nanometers. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) designates the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis.
Image of a monocot and dicot sprouting away from the earth, toward the sun. In botany, the Cholodny–Went model, proposed in 1927, is an early model describing tropism in emerging shoots of monocotyledons, including the tendencies for the shoot to grow towards the light (phototropism) and the roots to grow downward (gravitropism).
