Detailed Solution

St-I is incorrect and St-II is correct

St I: First step of photosynthesis the absorption of light energy (visible wave length,VIBGYOR)

St II: The conversion of light energy into chemical energy occurs in the light phase. During the light phase, the absorbed light energy is used to generate high-energy molecules such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). This phase takes place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.
