b)photons ✔️✔️

c)absorption of UV light

d)absorption of IR light

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) Absorption of UV light is the correct option.

Explanation:

Photochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the chemical reactions that take place under UV light or visible light. These kinds of chemical reactions are called photochemical reactions. They occur when UV light or visible light is absorbed by particles of a substance. When particles absorb the light energy, they experience an exciting state, momentarily. This causes physical and chemical changes in the particles.

An example of a photochemical reaction is-

Photosynthesis- occurs in plants. The leaves absorb energy from the sunlight and convert it into chemical  energy. They use this chemical energy to make food for the plants.

Conclusion:

Photochemistry deals with the study of absorption of UV light.
