i) Light
Light is an
electromagnetic
radiation that can
be detected by the
human eye.
A beam of light is
pictured as a
shower of particles
called “Photons”.
Each photon
carries a certain
amount of energy
called “Quantum.”
The solar radiations
which penetrate
earth’s atmosphere
consist of a band of
visible light and a
small proportion of
Visible light
UV and Infrared
radiations. UV

ii) Temperature
Measure of hotness or coldness
expressed in terms of any of several
arbitrary scales and indicating the
direction in which heat energy will
spontaneously flow, i.e., from a
hotter body (one at a higher
temperature) to a colder body (one
at a lower temperature).
Temperature affects the vegetation and the life forms
Directly appears in two ways:
1. It affects the physiological
processes of plants and animals,
consequently their growth and size.
