B) The UVR shield treatment best reflected the control group in the experiment. C) The ambient UVR treatment best reflected the experimental group in the experiment. 3.

In this experiment‚ a spectrophotometric analysis of caffeine and the benzoic acid in soft drink is conducted to determine concentration of the caffeine and the benzoic acid mountain dew. The UV/Vis spectrometer is used and the ultraviolet absorbance is chosen to conduct the spectrophotometric analysis in this experiment. The UV/Vis spectrophotometer work by passing the light by strong lamp through a monochromator‚ which split the light into its component colours using a gratings

are known as skin cancer. The most common cause is ultraviolet light emitted by the sun although it has been known to be caused by tanning booths‚ unusually high levels of x-rays‚ exposure to some chemicals and in rare cases the abnormal genes that cause skin cancer can be inherited by children from their parents. 2. Why are Caucasians more at risk of skin cancer than other populations? Melanin is the pigment in the skin that absorbs ultraviolet light and protects the skin from sun damage‚ so the

LAB #11A: Quantification of a Mutagen – Standard Ames Test Sarah R. Villarreal Rogers 1130 INTRODUCTION. In the experiment Lab 6A‚ Diet Coke was determined a mutagen by using a test called the Spot-Overlay Ames Test. The Spot-Overlay Test was designed and named after Dr. Bruce Ames‚ a Scientist and professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at an array of colleges (Ames 2012)‚ the test was designed to determine whether or not something is mutagenic. After the Spot-Overlay Ames Test

severity of the burn. Sunburn is caused by overexposure to ultraviolet rays given off by the sun. Ultraviolet rays‚ damage cells in our body known as melanocytes. These cells produce melanin‚ a pigment which gives our skin its color. If your skin is darker‚ then your body produces more melanin; if it’s lighter than it produces less. The more melanin your body produces the more resistant it is to ultraviolet rays. The damage of these cells by ultraviolet rays causes rapid blood flow to the affected area to

around us. But there is invisible sunlight as well. These rays can not be seen. Some can be felt as heat‚ but the ones that can’t be felt are called ultraviolet rays. These are the culprits that cause changes to happen to our skin‚ like wrinkles‚ tans and even cancer. When a person wears sunscreen‚ they are protecting themselves from these ultraviolet rays. A protective blanket of gases‚ the atmosphere‚ surrounds our planet. It provides us with the air we breathe‚ and it protects us from the full

often a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or from artificial sources‚ such as a tanning bed‚ but can also be a result of windburn or reflected light. Many people deliberately tan their skin by exposure to the sun‚ called sun bathing‚ or by the use of artificial tanning methods. Some people use chemical products which can produce a tanning result without exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s rays contain two types of ultraviolet radiation that reach your skin:

used too often or used without UV protection creams. • Scientific Information Ultraviolet or UV rays have a shorter wave length than visible light yet is longer than X-rays. UV rays are not visible to humans yet are visible to some insects. UV rays get their name from electromagnetic waves which frequencies are higher than those that humans can identify as the colour violet. Although ultraviolet radiation is invisible to the human eye‚ a lot of people are aware of the effects of UV rays

contrast. (Hunt 1952‚ 192) In all lighting systems‚ ultraviolet light (UV) must be eliminated as that spectrum harms photographs the most. Halogen lights must have UV filters installed which adds to their cost and effectiveness. LED. lamps do not emit UV light and do not need extra filters. According to a study by the Getty Conservation Institute‚ fading from LED. lamps does not result in any more damage than conventional halogen lamps with ultraviolet filtering. They found that it is likely using LED
