  "term": "Spectral quantum yield",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The ratio of the number of specific photophysical or photochemical events occurring to the number of photons absorbed at a particular wavelength. This quantity provides insight into the efficiency of a light-induced process as a function of the incident light's energy. It is a dimensionless quantity, typically ranging from 0 to 1.",
