Photochemical reactions refer to chemical reactions that are initiated or influenced by light. In these reactions, light energy is absorbed by certain molecules, leading to transformations and the formation of new compounds.

The effects of very short wavelength UV on
photochemical reactions in the stratosphere leading to heating at very high altitudes is something that is under appreciated in the climate science community but the meterologists would have likely let them know when to look for these affects.
Low - level ozone is produced by a complex
photochemical reaction on hot, sunny days involving gases found in vehicle exhausts.
This new algorithm was developed through a DOE Office of Science - supported Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) project focused on advancing software and algorithms
for photochemical reactions.
Volatile organic compounds, referred to as VOCs, are characterized as any compounds of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate that participate in
atmospheric photochemical reactions.
Themechanicallyreproducednatureofphotographicsourcematerialstandsinoppositiontothe paint - erly process: the indexical «freezing» of a dynamic scene
through photochemical reaction and the mimetic translation of this through marking, layering and scraping down.
Photochemical reactions would deplete the methane in Titan's atmosphere within 15 million years, so something must be replacing the destroyed gas.
«Concentrated light drives
the photochemical reaction, which generates high - energy intermediates and heat to drive thermochemical carbon - chain - forming reactions, thus producing hydrocarbons in a single - step process.»
«If there is more ultraviolet light hitting the atmosphere, it will drive
these photochemical reactions more efficiently,» said Domagal - Goldman.
Felix N. Castellano, Goodnight Innovation Distinguished Chair of Chemistry at NC State, had previously shown that semiconductor nanocrystals could transfer energy to molecules, thereby extending their excited state lifetimes long enough for them to be useful in
photochemical reactions.
STM enables researchers to follow and understand
the photochemical reactions on various surface sites.
From
this photochemical reaction, two radicals of opposite charge are formed, a highly reducing anion and a highly oxidising cation.
The photochemical reaction of volcanic sulfur dioxide may not be the only method of creating a mass independent fractionation of sulfur.
Photochemical reactions are critical to a wide range of natural and technological phenomena, including photosynthesis, vision, nanomaterials and solar energy.

The photochemical reactions leading to O3 formation and the variables on which these reactions depend are undergoing rapid alterations owing to the present climate change scenario.
Berkeley Lab researchers have developed a new technique called two - dimensional electronic - vibrational spectroscopy that can be used to study the interplay between electrons and atomic nuclei during
a photochemical reaction.
K - Laser Class IV therapeutic lasers deliver specific red and near - infrared wavelengths of laser light to induce
a photochemical reaction and therapeutic effect.
Even so, it has not been regarded as a threat to the ozone layer, because its typical lifetime in the atmosphere before it is broken down in
photochemical reactions is only about five months.
There is no better «proof» of the photons of radiation for in
these photochemical reactions photons become one of the reactants.
This while
the photochemical reactions are different but the mechanism involved in warming their atmosphere is similar to our oxygen - ozone system.
Photochemical reactions during photosynthesis enable plants to convert solar energy into chemical energy that is stored as sugars in the plants» biomass.
