Coronavirus Disintegration using Ultraviolet Light Therapy

An ideal model of a cell full of coronaviruses is considered. The propagation of ultraviolet electromagnetic waves in such a dielectric medium is examined to ascertain whether the ultraviolet radiation may deliver energy to the medium. With the known observations of refractive indices of cell and virus, above the ultraviolet wavelengths, it is computed that the ultraviolet radiation in the UVB – UVA band of wavelengths (280 – 400 nm) deliver “excessive” energy to the dielectric medium. Thus, light at ultraviolet wavelengths may penetrate tissue and disintegrate coronavirus in cells. Ultraviolet light therapy at narrow range of wavelengths in the UVB – UVA band, for “lower” levels and “briefer” periods of radiation exposure, may reduce severity of conditions in the gravely affected coronavirus patients. The material and equipment may be sanitized with the exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the UVC band of wavelengths (100 – 180 nm). The use of “UV protected” glasses is “a must” to safeguard one’s eyes from the ultraviolet radiation exposure.
