photosensitive
Activated by light
Photosensitive describes something that reacts to light.
Photosensitive skin burns or develops rashes from sun exposure.
Photosensitive materials—like film or certain chemicals—change when light strikes them, a property essential to photography.
Some medications make patients photosensitive: The antibiotic warned of photosensitive reactions.
