Which consequence results when high-energy photons induce electronic transitions in TiO₂?

💡 Explanation

Photocatalysis occurs, because electron-hole pairs generated by interband transitions in TiO₂ under UV illumination promote redox reactions. Therefore, pollutants decompose faster, rather than a change in bulk electronic properties because the photons directly alter the surface chemistry.
