| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2894 Photochemistry, the study of the interaction of molecules with light, gives us insight into topics as diverse as photosynthesis, atmospheric ozone formation, semiconductor manufacturing, and even the mechanism by which you are currently perceiving the words on this page. This course will build off of concepts introduced in quantum chemistry to dive deeply into these fundamental light-matter interactions. Well discuss core photophysical topics such as what determines why some molecules interact with visible light and what causes fluorescence, and photochemical concepts of chemical reactions from the excited state. The course will culminate with students presenting an independent project on a photochemical concept or application that interests them.; Prerequisite(s): CHEM H305 or co-requisite: CHEM B221 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) |
