Photosynthesis is the process through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Here is the chemical reaction involved: As we can see, water and carbon dioxide combine to form glucose and oxygen. Since new chemical species are formed, photosynthesis is clearly a chemical change.

I hope this helps answer your question. :)

Because when the light reacts with the sun a chemical changes it so it produces a chemical reaction
