Which outcome occurs when titanium dioxide powder is illuminated?

A)Photocatalysis degrades adsorbed organic molecules.
B)Luminescence emits ultraviolet radiation.
C)Photoelectric effect ejects core electrons.
D)Triboluminescence generates compressive waves.

💡 Explanation

Photocatalysis occurs because light excites electrons in TiO2, forming electron-hole pairs; these initiate redox reactions that degrade adsorbed organic molecules. Therefore, adsorbed contamination degrades, rather than emitting radiation or mechanically deforming, because photoexcitation drives redox chemistry.
