"A supplement published in vol. 38 (1912): 881-884 [See Book ID: 50338]. Einstein presents a continuation of his earlier work on the interaction between light matter and on photochemical processes. It contrasts with earlier work in that it makes no use of the quantum hypothesis. He demonstrates how what he calls 'the law of photochemical equivalence' is deducible by purely thermodynamical arguments if one makes certain plausible assumptions. He wrote a supplement to the paper in five months later in the same journal." (p. 291-2. Calaprice, Kennefick & Shulmann. An Einstein Encyclopedia. 2015.)
