In this chapter, you will examine the Sun’s radiation by investigating its composition and effects on our health. You may be aware that applying sunscreen protects your skin against sunlight. Here you will find the videos, simulations, and articles for both the 10th Edition and the 2024 Release:
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about radiation from the sun in Chapter 3.
This video explores the relationship between wavelength of light and the apparent color of materials.
This simulation shows the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy of electromagnetic waves.
This ACS video shows a laboratory demonstration of a flame test, which students can use to answer Your Turn 3.8.
This interactive activity shows where UV light comes from, and explores how the atmosphere protects us from UV radiation.
This ACS Reactions video explores the question: what if humans could use sunlight to make their own food like plants?
This ACS Reactions video explores how anti-wrinkle creams work.
This interactive data on the effect of race on the melanoma incidence rates can be used to answer Your Turn 3.15.
This video shows examples of drawing Lewis structures.
This simulation shows how EM radiation interacts with an ozone molecule.
This animation demonstrates ozone hole concentrations shown in Figure 3.25.
