HBY connection: Fashion, Color, and Light Investigating visible light and color filters in fashion and heliophysics.

Heliophysics concept 2.3 The Sun is the primary source of light in our solar system. (NGSS: (PS1, PS2, PS3,PS4, ESS1) Energy from the Sun is created in the core and travels outward through the Sun and into the heliosphere. (PS1, PS3, PS4, ESS1, ESS2, ESS3)

Math problems: Explore filters and light

Introductory: Which filter passes only the light from hydrogen at a wavelength near 656 nanometers (nm)?

Intermediate: How much should a sunbather e use to get an SPF of 45 so that she can be in the sun for the entire day?

Advanced: Determine what percentage of light at 300nm and 800 nm wavelengths will remain after passing through 1.5 centimeters of a filtering materials?
