How can the rate of a fast reaction be determined by Flash Photolysis?

Flash photolysis: When we pass a powerful flash of short duration or laser beam, through the reaction mixture to initiate a reaction the atoms, ions or free radicals are formed.
These atoms, ions or free radicals formed can be identified by passing a second, Flash of light through the mixture immediately after the first flash.
For this the absorption spectrum of the mixture is monitored continuously at small regular intervals after first flash and the changes in the spectrum with time indicate the various processes occurring in the system.
It can also be studied by observing some other property like electrical conductance or magnetic property of the reaction mixture.

    Suggest explainations for:
    The action of a solid phase catalyst to increase the rate of unimolecular gas—phase decomposition reaction.
    Answer
    How does temperature affect the rate of a reaction? Is there a corresponding equal decrease in number of collisions among molecules of a gaseous reaction? How is this effect explained by the concept of activation energy?
    Answer
