Abstract
The spectrum of solar radiation that reaches the earth’s surface ranges from the highly energetic ultraviolet (UV) with wavelengths as short as 290–295 nm, through the near-UV region into the visible and infra-red regions. This presentation is concerned with the effects of solar-UV (290’380 nm), and where general terminology is inadequate, the specific wavelengths employed will be mentioned.
