Solution

Photosynthesis:
A process where green plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
CO2 & water are converted into glucose and oxygen.
It can occur in artificial light, provided the plant receives the correct wavelength of the light spectrum.
Maximum photosynthesis occurs between 600-700 nm in the red end, which is followed by 400-500 nm in the blue region, and the least between 500-600 nm in the green region.
