Group B Dienes, Conjugated Systems and Pericyelic Reactions 1. If longer wavelength U UV VA radiation is better for getting a nice tan and both molecules A and B absorb B radiation which is responsible for sunburns, explain which molecule would be a better sunscreen for tanning (explain using HOMO-LUMO). ?? Solution Tanning is a proces of changing colour under the influence of UV light by sun. Tanning is more effective at higher wavelengths of UV light absorption. Among the two given molecules, molecule B would absorb sun light at higher wavelengths(More energy gap between Homo to Lumo) than the molecule A due to presence of extended conjugation in molecule B. Pi bond Conjugation enhances the absorption wavelength maximum to higher wavelengths. Based on this, molecule B can work as a better sunscreen for tanning. .
