The first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known as ‘light-harvesting complexes’, where the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by other nearby chlorophyll molecules. Given that for a pair of chlorophyll a molecules R0 = 5.6 nm, by what distance should two chlorophyll a molecules be separated to shorten the fluorescence lifetime from 1 ns (a typical value for monomeric chlorophyll a in organic solvents) to 10 ps?

Photochemistry

Photochemistry is the part of chemistry that studies the various mechanisms of reactions that are triggered by the presence of light energy. It also helps to study the changes involved in a molecule that can undergo the absorption of radiation.
