Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Around 50% of the total radiation from sunlight falls under photosynthetically active radiation and supports the process of photosynthesis. It constitutes the light of 400-700 nm wavelength which is absorbed by chlorophyll pigment. Out of which only 2-10% are captured by plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -FPAR is the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (400-700 nm) absorbed by green vegetation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) spans the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from 400 to 700 nanometers.
