UV-C Light Laws and Rules
Physics Laws and Rules that govern how UV-C Light behaves
2/24/2026
This week, MIRANOVA's ENGINEERING LENS is dedicated purely to some of the foundational physics and equations that dictate UV-C behavior.
While the math might look intimidating at first glance, these are base principles that govern whether your system functions or fails. We break down the Inverse Square Law, the Bunsen-Roscoe Law, the Keitz Law, Beer-Lambert & Planck-Einstein Laws
A critical warning for UV-C engineering: beware the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Knowing just a little about germicidal light often leads to maximum confidence and unreviewed designs.
Moving forward with assumptions is far more dangerous than knowing nothing at all and asking for help.
