Biophysics
Quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency of a photophysical process, specifically defined as the ratio of the number of events occurring (like photon emission) to the number of photons absorbed. This term is crucial for understanding energy transfer in systems where light drives reactions or emissions, connecting key concepts such as energy conversion efficiency, fluorescence intensity, and molecular interactions in light-absorbing materials.
