4.If 500 Joules Of Sunlight Is Entering The Earth, Approximately How Much Of It Is Finally Converted Into Organic Matter (In Joules) Via Photosynthesis And What Is The Term For The Portion Of Light Which Lies In The Visible Spectrum (400-700 Nm) And Can Be Utilised By The Plants For Photosynthesis?

5-25 Joules; Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)

26-50 Joules; Plant Yield Radiation
