DESCRIPTION
Self-Darkening Sunglasses. A Reversible Chemical Reaction. Glasses that darken in sunlight and become clear in ordinary room light. Self-darkening sunglasses use a reversible chemical reaction called “photochromic” Photochromic is derived from photo, meaning light, and chromic meaning color - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Example of a ReversibleExample of a ReversibleChemical ReactionChemical Reaction
• Self-darkening sunglasses use a reversible chemical reaction called “photochromic”
• Photochromic is derived from photo, meaning light, and chromic meaning color
- a change in color with light
