In short, the explanation that resolves ...

Abstract

Introduction The history of Europe indicates that communication in the region was only limited to certain route maps. The route maps were drawn to connect different stations with orders being sent out with messages. Although in some cases the message was written covering sensitive issues, the messages were dictated to the messenger and repeated to the receiver. This system was highly inconvenient since the individuals were often pushed into placing their trust on an individual and the telegraph came to end this (Carey 12).

Introduction

There are environmental chemical processes which require light to react. These processes are called photochemical reactions. Photochemical reaction is commonly initiated due to the absorption of solar energy or light. When molecules absorb energy in the form of light, the atoms are converted in a transient excited state (Larson & Weber, 1994). This transition state or excited has completely different physical and chemical properties with the initial state of the molecule. The excited states also have more tendencies to react since they are considered stronger acids and stronger reductants that the initial state of the molecule. The excited state of ...
