  "term": "Efficiency",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the effectiveness of a process, often expressed as a ratio of desired output to total input. In photochemistry, it quantifies how well absorbed light leads to a specific photochemical or photophysical event. For example, quantum efficiency measures the number of events per photon absorbed.",
