absorption transmission Reflection refraction Scattering 4) Interaction between light and media
I- intensity of light, x the thickness of the medium, a the absorption coefficient. Lambert’s law: when a beam of monochromatic radiation passes through a homogeneous absorbing medium, equal fraction of the incident radiation are absorbed by successive layer of equal thickness of the light absorbing substance
Beer’s law: The equal fractions of the incident radiation are absorbed by equal changes in concentration of the absorbing substance in a path of constant length. Is the molar extinction coefficient, C the molar concentration. Both Lambert’s law and its modification are strictly obeyed only for monochromatic light, since the absorption coefficients are strong function of the wave-length of the incident light.
5) Photoexcitation: Upon photoactivation, the molecules or atoms can be excited to a higher electronic, vibrational, or rotational states. A + h A* The lifetime of the excited atom is of the order of 10-8 s. Once excited, it decays at once. Excitation between different electronic level

5.2 Photochemistry The first law of photochemistry: Grotthuss and Draper, 1818: light must be absorbed by a chemical substance in order for a photochemical reaction to take place.
The second law of photochemistry / The law of photochemical equivalence Einstein and Stark, 1912 The quantum of radiation absorbed by a molecule activates one molecule in the primary step of photochemical process.
The activation of any molecule or atom is induced by the absorption of single light quantum. one einstein = Lh = 0.1196 J mol-1 Under high intensive radiation, absorption of multi-proton may occur. A + h A* A* + h A** Under ultra-high intensive radiation, SiF6 can absorb 20~ 40 protons. These multi-proton absorption occur only at I = 1026 proton s-1 cm-3, life-time of the photoexcited species > 10-8 s. Commonly, I = 1013 ~ 1018 proton s-1 cm-3, life-time of A* < 10-8 s. the probability of multi-proton absorption is rare.
The primary photochemical process: A chemical reaction wherein the photon is one of the reactant. S + h S* Some primary photochemical process for molecules AB· + C· Dissociation into radicals AB- + C+ Ions Photoionization ABC+ + e- ABC + h photoionization ABC* Activated molecules Photoexcitation ACB Intramolecular rearrangement Photoisomerization

For opposing reaction: A B r+ = k+Ia r- = k-[B] At equilibrium The composition of the equilibrium mixture is determined by radiation intensity.
6.4 quantum yield and energy efficiency Quantum yield or quantum efficiency (): The ratio between the number of moles of reactant consumed or product formed for each einstein of absorbed radiation. For H2+ Cl2 2HCl = 104 ~ 106 For H2+ Br2 2HBr = 0.01 < 1, the physical deactivation is dominant = 1, product is produced in primary photochemical process > 1, initiate chain reaction.
