Constructor of ultraviolet-C waveband

Wavelength-range definitions for ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation, by default according to ISO or as commonly used in different application areas.

Usage

UVC(std = "ISO")

Arguments

std

a character string "CIE", "ISO", "none", or "medical".

Value

a waveband object wavelength defining a wavelength range.

Details

Implemented definitions. UV-C according to CIE and ISO standards: 100–280 nm. UV-c according to common non-standard practice: 200–280 nm. UV-C according to medical or dermatological non-standard practice, e.g. Diffey (1991): 200–290 nm.
