Why do submerged plants receive weaker illumination than exposed floating plants in a lake?
 

Answers (1)

Most of the colours from the visible spectrum fail to reach deep into a water body. This happens because of the refraction of light through different layers of water. Due to this, floating plants get plenty of sunlight, but submerged plants get weaker illumination.
