Conversion spectrum

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002546

A plot showing the efficiency of a photochemical or photophysical process as a function of the wavelength of incident light. It illustrates how effectively different wavelengths of light induce a specific chemical transformation or physical change. This spectrum is often normalized to account for variations in light intensity.
