    The photoacoustic frequency spectrum under steady-state conditions from Philodendron green leaves attached to the plant was measured in the 0.2-200 Hz frequency range. The PA amplitude spectrum showed a maximum at low frequency (around 1 Hz) which was attributed to an optimum frequency for oxygen evolution. The signal decreased at a lower frequency, where the oxygen or carbondioxide uptake starts to become important. Efficiency of the oxygen evolution as a function of excitation light intensity was determined for different levels of background light
