Photochemistry (a term that broadly speaking includes photophysics) is a branch of modern science that deals with the interaction of light with matter and lies at the crossroads of chemistry, physics, and biology. However, before being a branch of modern science, photochemistry was (and still is today), an extremely important natural phenomenon. When God said: "Let there be light", photochemistry began to operate, helping God to create the world as we полу know it. It is likely that photochemistry was the spark for the origin of life on Earth and played a fundamental role in the evolution of life. Through the photosynthetic process that takes place in green plants, photochemistry is responsible for the maintenance of all living organisms. In the geological past photochemistry caused the accumulation of the deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas that we now use as fuels. Photochemistry is involved in the control of ozone in the stratosphere and in a great number of environmental processes that occur in the atmosphere, in the sea, and on the soil. Photochemistry is the essence of the process of vision and causes a variety of behavioral responses in living organisms...
