U OF A TEAM
BEGIN LIGHT
QUALITY STUDY
Two University of Alaska
scientists have begun an ex
periment to compare the qual
ity of sunlight in Alaska with
that occuring farther south.
Dr. Curtis Dearborn, of the
Alaska Agricultural Experi
ment Station at Palmer and
Wallace B. Murcray. of the
I Geophysical Institute, will con
struct and install light analyz
ing devices in Alaska. Missouri
and Costa Rica. These devices
will pick up both direct and
reflected light and analyze it to
determine what portion of it
belongs to certain color or fre-1
quency bands. The findings of
the three machines will then
be compared to see if there is
any difference in the amount
of radiation found in the dif
ferent bands at different lati
tudes.
Results from the experiment
may help to explain why some
crops cannot adapt to the Al
askan climate. They may aid ;
also in selecting future crops
for Alaskan farmers.
The experiment, entitled
"Measurement of Light Quality
of the Natural Spectrum.” is
supported by a grant from the
National Institute of Health.
The 1909 A-Y-P Exposition’s
$63,676 profit was donated to
