Uh-oh, I dunno. Generally speaking, some effects of light energy are quantized; i.e., they come in whole-number sizes and it takes just the right amount or size packet of energy to cause a light mediated change in some chemical reaction: not too much, not too little. I don't know where uv light fits in relation to the way silver particles react, but suspect that the major factor is not the light but the silver compound. Take care, Malcolm
