What happens when a photon collides with a molecule? A reaction takes place that often changes the shape of the molecule, and therefore its functionality. This is what makes it possible for us to see, for example. Scientists propose a refined approximation of the equation that describes the effect of this photo-excitation on the components of such molecules.
