What is the percentage of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in
the incident solar radiation?
(a) 100%
(b) 50 %
(c) 1-5%
(d) 2-10%
Correct answer is (b) 50%.
Explanation:
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) is the portion of sunlight (specifically in the wavelength range of 400–700 nm) that plants use for photosynthesis. About 50% of the total incident solar radiation falls within this range and is thus available for photosynthesis.
