Photogray lenses incorporate small amounts of silver chloride in the glass of the lens. When light hits the AgCl particles, me following reaction occurs: AgClhvAg+Cl The silver metal that is formed causes the lenses to darken. The energy change for this reaction is 3.10 102 kJ/mol. Assuming all this energy must be supplied by light, what is the maximum wavelength of light that can cause this reaction?
What does wave-particle duality mean? What are its implications in our modem view of atomic structure?
