Re: Ultraviolet radiation from the moon

Gee, I suppose the Moon more or less reflects everything, but
down by a HUGE amount, so, sure it's safe.

Dear Lurkers

A question came up today in class...Does reflected light from the moon
contain ultraviolet frequencies. We were discussing the effect of UV light
on the skin - albino conditions, etc. and a student asked me if it were
safe
for albino people to swim (for example) in the moonlight.

What do you think? I never came across that one before. Jim Harris
