I believe that it increases. -_-

How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
What is the relationship between an increase in light intensity and photosynthetic rate in tomato leaves?
As light intensity increases then the rate of photosynthesis increases until a point is reached when the rate levels off. Beyond this point is called the light saturation point of photosynthesis.
How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis and vice versa.more intense light means more energy in the light, so the chloroplasts get more energy from light, making photosynthesis go faster
If you continue to increase the intensity of light that a plant receives what happens?
As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase and then level off no matter how much brighter the light gets. This is because another limiting factor such as carbon dioxide or water level stops it. If the light gets too bright the heat can burn the leaves.
What factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?
carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis

Is it true that an increase in light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis?
No, that is not true and increasing light intensity increases the photosynthetic rate, to a point. The saturation point is reached when the reactions in the reaction center have reached top speed and any more light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis.
As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis?
Initially increases then levels off. (the rate of photosynthesis) Hope that helped!!

How does the rate of photosynthesis respond to changes in light intensity?
It directly increases along with the growth in intensity of the light
What is the relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate?
The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
True or false As light intensity increases indefinitely the rate of photosynthesis increases indefinitely?
false.
What happens to the power of the objective as the light intensity increase?
Increases
Does light intensity increase or decrease as the magnification increases?
maybe
