The light sensitive compound on most photographic films is silver bromide AgBr. A film is exposed when the light energy absorbed dissociates this molecule into its atoms. The energy of dissociation of AgBr is 105Jmol−1. For a photon that is just able to dissociate a molecule of AgBr, the photon energy is

1 mole of AgBr contains 6.022×1023 molecules and 1J of energy is equivalent to 6.24×1018eV. Thus, energy needed to dissociate 1 molecule of AgBr is given by:
E=105×6.24×10186.022×1023=1.04eV
