The first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known as ‘light-harvesting complexes’, where the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by other nearby chlorophyll molecules. Given that for a pair of chlorophyll a molecules R0 = 5.6 nm, by what distance should two chlorophyll a molecules be separated to shorten the fluorescence lifetime from 1 ns (a typical value for monomeric chlorophyll a in organic solvents) to 10 ps?

In a photochemical experiment it is observed that 5.78×10-5 mol of uranyl oxalate is decomposed at a wavelength of 300 nm emitted by a lamp in one hour. When acetone was irradiated with the same lamp for 10 hours, the amount of acetone decomposed was found to be 2.32× 10-4 mol. What is quantumyield for the acetone decomposition under the same condition?
