light strikes the chloroplast.
Photosynthesis starts with the Light-Dependent reactions, which begins with radiant/light energy. By the time it has finished the Light-Independent Reactions, which comes after the dependent ones, it converts the light/radiant energy to glucose, or chemical energy.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
The biochemical reactions involving photolysis of water comes under light reaction. It is infect a chain of reactions commonly known as light phase.

The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
light dependant reactions
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.

There are two reactions. Those are light dependent and independent.
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.
Glucose
This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
