Photochemistry
Kapitel i bok, 2011
Photochemistry refers to the processes by which energy is
transferred from electromagnetic radiation (in practice
mainly ultraviolet and visible light) into chemical activity
in gases, solid particles, and living matter. Photochemical
processes partly control the initial conditions for the formation
of stars and planets, they may leave traces of the
early chemical evolution of planetary systems in the abundances
of isotopes, they regulate the input of stellar energy
into atmospheres of planets, and they play important roles
in the chemistry of living organisms on Earth.
