Learning outcomes
|
Students will learn the photochemical laws, the way how to influence the course of chemical reactions by exposure to light, the types and significance of photochemical materials not only in practice and the techniques for studying photochemical processes.
Acquire knowledge of the basic principles of photochemistry, distinguish between different types of photochemical reactions and an overview of their use in photochemical imaging and light-sensitive materials.
