Mar 8, 2020 at 9:56 comment added anna v Yes for water . as ionisation in air increases the conductivity of air.. Note that it has to be in the infrared range, the temperatures in the plot are low frequency, not optical light. see table en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
Mar 8, 2020 at 9:32 comment added Nyckel Because of information processing constraints (had I unlimited capacity I could instantaneously analyze all information that ever existed, but not the case), if your answer is "the answer is yes", that means you say it is possible to catalyze auto-ionization by exposing water to electromagnetic radiation of different frequences. Since you also said "one can increase conductivity of pure water by radiation" (unrelated to the question), you must mean "what increases the conductivity is an increase in ion content?".
Mar 8, 2020 at 8:52 comment added anna v for pure water , that is what I found. Impurities also increase conductivity. look at the wiki article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-ionization_of_water
Mar 8, 2020 at 7:16 comment added Nyckel And what increases the conductivity is an increase in ion content? Are there other factors, or, is it mainly the H+/OH- content? Just asking to avoid missing some factor.
