Question
Why are UV rays harmful in large quantities?
Explanation
**Ozone layer depletion** environmental concern related to increased UV-B reaching surface, causing skin cancer, cataracts, damage to crops and marine life, due to CFCs releasing Cl that catalytically destroys O₃, O₃ absorbs UV 200-320 nm, depletion increases UV transmission. The document mentions that UV rays in large quantities have harmful effects on humans, such as damaging skin cells and inducing excessive melanin production. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields They have harmful effects on humans, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
