In short, you can catalyze chemical reactions using resonant EM waves with frequencies that are harmonics of the emission spectra of atoms as a replacement for heat or physical catalysts.
There is no requirement that an electron will jump energy levels if and only if a photon of matching frequency interacts with it. You can use microwaves instead of UV/visible light to the same effect, so long as the microwave resonates with one of the frequencies of the atom
- rini17 5y agoHow is photoelectric effect explained in this framework? Why microwaves won't cause release of electrons then?
- rpz 5y agoThe author claims that they do, so long as the microwaves resonate with a frequency in the emission spectra of the atom in question https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/e266e5e7-739c-437c-89c3-eed60d3a9f3f/downloads/1cftaag78_511311.pdf https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/e266e5e7-739c-437c-89c3-eed...
