Efficiency spectrum
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003605
A plot illustrating the relative efficiency of a photochemical or photobiological process as a function of the wavelength of incident light. This spectrum indicates which wavelengths are most effective in driving a particular reaction or biological response. It is often normalized to the maximum efficiency observed.
