Ozone
Could you tell me the spectral regions in which, ozone has a strong absorption? Does it absorb in the red and infrared as well as in the ultraviolet? I have calculated that a photon with wavelength 11,800 Å has enough energy to dissociate the molecule into an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom. Have I made a mistake? Why is ozone transparent through much of the visible region? Why does it absorb strongly in the region from 3200 Å down?
I shall be grateful to you for this information.

Dear Peter,
Mama and I were happy to see you and the children. I do not know when we shall get to London again - we have no plans for coming.
I enclose a check for 5 pounds to cover the cost of the cab and other expenses. I had planned to repay you when you came to see us before our departure.
Both Mama and I on our arrival in Pasadena were feverish — about one degree of fever. We are both still in bed, but expect to be able to get about in another day. I am dictating this letter to you on my Dictaphone at home.
We have been having rather cold weather, getting down to freezing at night.
