Abstract

UV-rays produced in two ways natural and artificial; there are some difficulties in determined the first because it created from the sun in various types of UV-rays therefor it's not easy to study its effects on human body. In the present study selected a different lamps (18, 40, 60) watts and also a halogen lamp used in the thermodynamic Laboratory in physic department, college of science university of kerbala to calculate the intensity of emitted rays and determined the wavelength of radiation from its lamps in any region of UV-rays. The results show that the radiation is located within regions of ultraviolet rays, according to the radiated intensities and wave length from spectra of the lamps. The conclusion can be explained that the lamps emit ultraviolet radiation; so that they pose a health hazard to the population.
