Science UV Light
AS
you know the light is made out of several different colors. One of them is blue. The screen
light has the most blue light. When this color is combined they make the white light or the
sun light. Each different color has a different wavelength and frequency. The blue light(the
one that damages our eyes) has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to the
other colors. This light can damage our eyes by having blurry vision, eye strain, dry eye
macular degeneration, and cataracts. This makes the blue light kind of dangerous.
Scientists believe that blue light has the most effect on our eyes because the blue light
has wavelengths of around 415 and 455 nanometers and the light that comes from the
display wavelength is around 400 and 490 nanometers.
Nanometers are a modern Unit of measurement that scientists today use. 1cm equals 10
000 000 nanometers, so it is extremely small.
