Andrea B. Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Various Links to Solar Info The Lowdown on Blue Light: Good vs. Badhttp://www.reviewofo...essonid/109744/The average proportion of blue light that's found in sunlight during the day is between 25% to 30%. Even on a cloudy day, up to 80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through the clouds. The specific band of blue light most harmful to the retina and to the RPE cells was identified to be at 415 nm to 455 nm. BAD whether from the sun, LED lighting, or CFLs. The labeled blue-turquoise light range, which is from 465 nm to 495 nm, is GOOD, essential to our vision, the function of our pupillary reflex, and in general to human health.

Smith, American Journal of Physics, Volume 73, Issue 7, pp. 590-597 (2005).Sky Blue: The color perceived is similar to that obtained by a monochromatic blue of wavelength 474–476 nm mixed with white light, i.e., an unsaturated blue light.[2] BLUE SKY GOOD. PDF: Visible Light and UV Radiationby Johan Moan, U of Oslo What percent age of natural sunlight is UV rays?http://www.madsci.or...64750.En.r.htmlThe short version is that the amount of UV radiation (wavelength between 100 and 400 nm) reaching the earth's surface is about 0.5% of the total amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface.

nfoto Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 0.5% re visible is equivalent to approx. -8 EV. Thus our practical experience gained with UV photography is in the ballpark of that estimate. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 oh hi !! I was just parking some notes here. I was attempting to determine what percentage of sunlight was blue and what % is green. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Cleaned up and retitled this post which has some good solar links. Link to comment
