NOTE

The Effect of Clothing on Sunlight Exposure

Clothes can absorb shorter wavelengths such as ultraviolet and blue light effectively, but become more transparent to longer wavelengths like infrared. Typical clothing allows more than a hundred times the amount of infrared light to pass through compared to shorter wavelengths. This transparency to infrared enables individuals to receive beneficial infrared radiation while still being protected from harmful short wavelengths. Sitting under a tree can provide a balance, offering shade from visible and ultraviolet light while allowing infrared light to pass through.
