Question
What is the only statement that correctly identifies the ability of different wavelengths of UV light to penetrate the human skin?
Note: UVA is the longest wavelength (least energy), and UVC is the shortest wavelength (most energy). If you've studied the
Group of answer choices
A- UVA light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect
B-UVB light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect
C-UVC light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect

The action spectrum of the plant's leaves is found in Figure 1 below. Unfortunately it is winter and there is very little natural light. The local hardware store offers her two lighting choices: halogen light or cool white LED. After a little research, she discovers the spectrum of each type of light, as shown in Figure 2. a) Which type of light should Ms. Brundage purchase? Explain. b)The salesperson assures her that her plant most likely will be able to grow under either type of light. Given what you know about plant pigments and photosynthesis, how could this be possible? Explain.arrow_forward
