Abstract
Radiant energy required for production of cutaneous burns was measured as a function of wave length for both rat and human skin. These studies were accomplished using the C arc as a source of radiation and broad-band filters for isolation of regions of the spectrum. The reflectivities of skin for the same broad-band spectral regions were measured. The significance of the optical properties of skin were discussed and the property of the high transmission of skin in the region 0.7-1.0 u was presented.Keywords
