How does light intensity influence the rate of photosynthesis?
The more light, the faster the party! Higher light intensity boosts the rate of photosynthesis, up to a point. Too much, though, and plants can get sunburned.

From my experience growing tomatoes, increasing light dramatically sped up their growth. So, more light = faster photosynthesis, but keep it balanced!
Hot take: Light intensity doesn't matter as much as you think past a certain point. Plants can only handle so much before it becomes overkill.
Light intensity is like fuel for a car; the more you have, the faster photosynthesis can go, but only up to a limit.
