Why does exposure to UV radiation cause tanning of the skin?
**Greenhouse effect** IR absorbed by CO₂, H₂O, CH₄, warming Earth, excessive greenhouse due to fossil fuel burning raises temperature, EM waves role: Sun visible reaches surface, Earth emits IR trapped, altering energy balance, safety concern for climate change. The document explains that exposure to UV radiation induces the production of more melanin, which causes tanning of the skin. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields It induces production of melanin, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current conce
