4、tion spectrum.1.2 This practice describes two procedures for determiningan activation spectrum.One uses sharp cut-on UV/visibletransmitting filters and the other uses a spectrograph todetermine the relative degradation caused by individual spec-tral regions.NOTE1Other techniques can be used to isola
5、te the effects ofindividual spectral bands of a light source,for example,interferencefilters.1.3 The techniques are applicable to determination of thespectral effects of solar radiation and laboratory acceleratedtest devices on a material.They are described for the UVregion,but can be extended into
6、the visible region usingdifferent cut-on filters and appropriate spectrographs.1.4 The techniques are applicable to a variety of materials,both transparent and opaque,including plastics,paints,inks,textiles and others.1.5 The optical and/or physical property changes in amaterial can be determined by
