I am doing project "Presto! From Black to Clear with the Magic of Photochemistry"
There is very little information for background section.
Where can I get information on line, books and other sources?
Thank you

Re: Photochemistry
Hi,
The fastest way to find some background on photochemistry is to enter the term in any good search engine(like Google.com). You will find more information than you can use, including book reviews. Here is one good link:
http://www2.chemistry.msu.edu/faculty/r ... otchem.htm
You may also want to investigate related terms like “photochromic”.
Have fun!

Re: Photochemistry
Thank you very much for your great reply.
Some Articles are more College level vs 10th grade.
How can I get more info for the experiment "Presto from Black to Clear", that level is easy to follow.
Is it possible to contact David B. Whyte for more information.
Thank you for all your input.

Re: Photochemistry
Hi,
Sorry you are having trouble understanding the chemistry.
If you want to contact David Whyte I suggest you send an email with your questions and request to [email protected]. If he still works with Science Buddies they should be able to forward the message to him. Their general policy is that the only way questions get answered is by posting on this blog, as you have done, but I have never seen a post by him on the blog. You can also comment on the Writeup at the bottom of writeup page, though I do not think that comment will get a response though it will be considered if the experiment writeup is revised (and it might prompt them to revise it).
You can also post specific questions on this blog and we will try to answer them at a level you can understand. Your questions will have to be fairly specific in order to get good answers though.
Another idea that might work for you is to talk to your local chemistry teacher about what you want to know. He or she might be able to answer your questions to your satisfaction better and faster than having a conversation via this blog.
Good luck!
