Chapter 11: Introduction to Modern Atomic Theory

Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere. In terms of molecules and photons, one MOLECULE of ozone absorbs one PHOTON of ultraviolet light.

The single photon breaks one oxygen-oxygen bond in an ozone molecule.

A single photon of light with a wavelength of 2500 nm, a frequency of 1.20 x 10¹⁴ sec^-1 and an energy of 7.95 x 10^-20 J.
