Förster equation

The Förster equation describes how energy transfers between two molecules, particularly in the context of fluorescence. When a donor molecule absorbs light and gets excited, it can pass this energy to a nearby acceptor molecule, causing the acceptor to fluoresce. The equation helps predict the efficiency of this energy transfer based on factors like the distance between the molecules and their respective properties. It's widely used in fields like biochemistry and material science to study interactions in various systems, including biological processes and the development of new materials.
