Quenching equations:
Kramer, and Hendrickson / Klughammer &Schreiber’s, lake model parameters account
for all light that is absorbed by PSII. All parties agree w
ith the following equation.
Kramer’s equation is 1 = Y(II)+Y(NPQ)+Y(NO)
Y(II) is quantum yield of photochemical energy also known as )F/Fm’ or (Fm’- Fs’)/ Fm’
For comparison purposes, the differences in the equations are listed below.

Hendrickson - Klughammer and Schreiber’s simplified equations
Y(II) = (Fm’ -Fs)/Fm’ or )Fm’/ Fm’
Y(NO) = Fs/Fm or F/Fm
Y(NPQ) =( Fs/Fm’)-Y(NO) or (F/Fm’) - Y(NO)
NPQ= Y(NPQ)/Y(NO) or NPQ = (Fm-Fm’)/Fm’
