Purple {photobiologyWavebands}

Constructor of purple waveband

Description

Wavelength-range definition for purple radiation according to ISO or imagers in the Landsat satellites.

Usage

Purple(std = "ISO")

Arguments

std

a character string "ISO", or Landsat imager "LandsatOLI".

Details

Purple (or violet) wavelengths as defined by ISO standards based on human vision overlap the UVA band as defined by a separate ISO standard. In other contexts like plant photobiology purple is included under blue, while some overoptimistic LED sellers call LEDs emitting in the violet region ultraviolet LEDs. In addition to the ISO definition of purple, a purple channel from Landsat imagers is implemented.

Value

A waveband object defining a wavelength range.
