Question

Contrast the fate of light striking a forest canopy with that of light impinging on the surface of a lake?​

Answer 1

The fate of light striking a forest canopy with that of light impinging on the surface of a lake are discussed below:  

Explanation:

• In a forest, the light that strikes it will be used by the trees and plants fot the process of photosynthesis.

• The light striking the forest will be used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. and in this way, the light energy will be converted into other forms of energy and used a t each trophic level.

• The fate of light impinging the surface of a lake will be that the earth will absorb the energy from the light energy and convert it into heat energy.
