Atmospheric ozone plays a UV-A (320-400 nm), UV-B (280-320 nm), and UV-C (200-280 nm)


Atmospheric ozone plays a UV-A (320-400 nm), UV-B (280-320 nm), and UV-C (200-280 nm). Unfortunately, human-caused pollution has eroded the ozone layer in the stratosphere, allowing a greater amount of ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface. The damaging effects of the radiation can be related to it's photon energy. Arrange the regions of UV radiation from overall lowest to highest photon energy. role in absorbing high-energy and damaging UV radiation, including Lowest Photon Energy Highest Photon Energy.

    Electromagnetic Waves UV Radiation Some of us are all too familiar with the ill- effects of over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) electromagnetic radiation, namely, sunburns (solar erythema). UV radiation can kill the skin cells immediately below the surface (part of the epidermal layer). Over the course of several minutes or several hours, as enough skin cells are killed or damaged, the body's natural immune response is triggered. The body responds to the damage with increased blood flow to the capillary bed of...
