kcal/mole). Consequently‚ ultraviolet light is most often effective in producing photochemical change. The light required for a photochemical reaction may come from many sources. Giacomo Ciamician‚ regarded as the "father of organic photochemistry"‚ used sunlight for much of his research at the University of Bologna in the early 1900’s. One of the oldest and most studied photochemical reactions is the photoreduction of benzophenone (diphenyl ketone). It was discovered that solutions of benzophenone are unstable

alas‚ his destiny now was simply to grow old‚ alone in the dark corner. As he waited for death to come‚ he thought back to his early days‚ back to where it had all begun. The sun broke over the horizon‚ flooding the open expanse with natural sunlight‚ awakening the dormant plants and animals from their slumber‚ warming all creatures great and small. A small tree began to fruit‚ the abundant light and nutrient sources enabling it to produce many small clusters. Over time the cluster grew and developed

cursors Inuit snow goggles function by reducing exposure to sunlight‚ not by reducing its intensity In prehistoric and historic time‚ Inuit peoples wore flattened walrus ivory "glasses‚" looking through narrow slits to block harmful reflected rays of the sun.[3] It is said that the Roman emperor Nero liked to watch gladiator fights with emeralds. These‚ however‚ appear to have worked rather like mirrors.[4] Sunglasses made from flat panes of smoky quartz‚ which offered no corrective powers but

burn or sunburn the skin. In some cases‚ people would see changes in their skin collagen. Erythema‚ which is the reddening of the skin‚ will also appear on the skin. Actinic or solar keratosis happens when the skin has had very long term exposure to sunlight. When exposed for too long‚ the skin may burn and peel off. This causes stinging pain and a lot more symptoms to come. The skin will feel hot and maybe even blister (“The risk”). There are other methods in getting a tan that does not require sun

grows into the cornea.” As a pterygium grows‚ it may become red and irritated. It can vary from small‚ atrophic quiescent lesions to large‚ aggressive‚ rapidly growing fibrovascular lesions that can distort the cornea. UV radiation (usually from sunlight) is the most common cause of pterygium. This explains why pterygium occurs with increasing frequency in climates approaching the equator. Other causes include continuous exposure to dry‚ dusty environments. People who spend significant time doing

Sunlight deprivation‚ brought on by cloudy weather‚ leads to seasonal affective disorder as well as low energy levels. Sunlight deficiency leads to SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which is a type of depression (Grohol‚ 2014). This disorder is regarded as having a seasonal pattern‚ as the weather is never stable and always changing (Grohol‚ 2014). Sunlight deprivation leads to a lack of Vitamin D (Mead‚ 2008). Vitamin D is absorbed through the skin from sunlight and converted to Vitamin D3 (Mead
