16In regard to sunscreen, what does SPF stand for?
[blank_start]_____[blank_end]- ASun Protection Factor
17SPF is defined as:
( MED* of sunscreen-protected skin ) / ( MED* of unprotected skin )
What does MED stand for?
[blank_start]M[blank_end] [blank_start]E[blank_end] [blank_start]D[blank_end]- AMedical

18Imagine you are determining the SPF of a new sunscreen.
The MED of protected skin = 300 seconds
The MED of unprotected skin = 10 seconds
The resulting SPF rating would be?- ASPF 10
- BSPF 15
- CSPF 30
- DSPF 300
19SPF more accurately measures protection against which type of UV exposure?
- AMainly UVA
- BMainly UVB
- CUVA and UVB
20Action spectrum is defined as "the most effective wavelengths for producing a certain response". These responses can include:
- ASunburn, tanning etc
- B[not this one - just trying to draw attention to the question itself]
...maybe fill in more detail on this one later?
