Definitions and terms
E = h = h c
h = Planck’s constant (6.6 · 10-34 Js)
= wavelength
= frequency
Einstein’s Equivalency Principle
One particle of a chemical substance can absorb only
one photon from a light beam: E = h
Light energies:
h
X2 X2*
a) Photodissociation
h
X2 X + X (photodissociation)
(energy of the photon supplies the „dissociation heat”)
Photodissociation
Photolysis of hydrogen bromide

HBr H + Br (photochemical reaction)
H + HBr H2 + Br
(dark reactions)
Br + Br Br2
Overall:
