Random question (for the chemical techies/geeks)
OK, so I know some of you are good with chemicals etc. There is a question I have that's been bugging me for a while, and I can't find an answer in google.
Following a discussion with a friend, the argument came up (yes, I'm a geek, deal with it) as to if ultraviolet light reacts with infrared light or not. The ultra-violet we're talking about is specifically around 300-500nm. The infrared light would be somewhere in the usual band of 3µm-15µm (mid-long wave IR) I'd imagine. Don't ask how the conversation started, you really don't want to know. So anyway, would there be a reaction between the two at all, and if there was, what sort of reaction would be given? |
