Good Afternoon!
How much of a risk of UV damage to the eye is there from using spectroscopes and looking at hydrogen spectra, mercury vapor spectra, etc.? One lab text admonishes students not to “look directly” at the illuminated lamps. Do you think this – along with wearing the usually splash goggles - is sufficient precaution?
Thank you.
