Photochemistry
Opens Unlimited
Experimental Field
By Dr. Henry J. Welge
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Photochemistry deals with the
chemical changes brought about by
the action of light. A popular mis
conception is that the term photo
chemistry deals with only photog
raphy. Photography concerns the
action of light on but a single
chemical, silver bromide, and so is
really only a minor branch of the
broad subject of photochemistry.
Light is a more powerful agent
for bringing about chemical chang
es than is usually supposed. Ordi
nary light has as much useful en
ergy as, on the average, the hot
gases from a flame would have at
a temperature of 30,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Even the oxy-hydro-
gen blowtorch has a maximum tem
perature of only about 5,000 de
grees Fahrenheit.
The color of light determines its
energy. Red light has the least
energy, with orange, yellow, green,
blue, and violet each having more
in the order given. The available
energy of violet light is about twice
as great as that of red light. Ultra
violet light cannot be seen, yet
has more energy still, and is con
sequently quite effective in pro
ducing chemical and physiological
changes, such as sunburn and vita
min production.
In order for this large amount
of energy in light to be useful, the
chemical substance that is to utilize
it must absorb the light; that is, it
must not be transparent to the
light. For if the object that is to
be chemically altered is transpar
ent, the light will pass completely
through it and emerge from it un
changed, and consequently the ob
ject will likewise be unaffected.
For example, one of the most
important applications of photo
chemistry to daily life is in the
action of light on green plants to
produce from water and carbon
dioxide such necessities as wood,
cotton, sugar, foods, and even drugs
and medicines. Here the leaf chem
icals are not transparent but are
colored green, and can absorb from
sunlight, which is a mixture of
light of all colors, all except some
of the green light, which passes
through the leaf unchanged.
In an effort to find out more
about the chemical changes brought
about by light, photochemists
study (1) the effect of light of
various wave-lengths (colors) on
the substances which they wish to
alter chemically; (2) the products
that are obtained after the chem
ical changes have taken place; and
(3) the efficiency with which the
light energy is utilized to produce
them.
In many cases, the chemical
changes brought about by light
can likewise be brought about by
heat, and vice versa. Consequently
information obtained on the be
havior of a substance toward light
is often quite useful in predicting
its behavior toward heat also. The
use of light is frequently more
convenient, since the reaction may
be easily started or stopped by
simply opening or closing a shut
ter placed between the light source
and the substance. Gradual warm
ing up and cooling down is elimi
nated, and the bad effects of over
heating are easy to avoid.
