I'm currently working on the issue of penetration of UV-A, UV-B and UV-C in the eye. We all know that energetic UV-C radiations has the least penetration in the eye. In case of x-rays and gamma, we all know that the penetration of these radiations depends on the energy of their photons. Photoelectric is the main process that is responsible for absorption of photon energy. As the photoelectric effect is not only occurs for X or gamma rays but also for UV radiation, it is not clear why penetration in x or gamma rays increases with increasing energy but energetic UV-rays (UVC) has the least penetration. Your comments are highly welcome.
