The process through which excess of light energy is dissipated in photosynthesis is known as (1) Quenching (2) Scavenging (3) Photolysis (4) Photophosphatylation
(1) Quenching Explanation: Quenching is a process in which absorbed light energy is dissipated as heat and does not take part in photochemistry. The phenomenon involves quenching of chlorophyll a (Chia) fluorescence, which is induced under steady-state illumination.
