Answer:
Solar eclipse should be observed through X-ray films or a fairly thick
plane glass covered with a thick layer of soot from the flame of a
candle.
The soot cuts off most of the harmful radiations and protect
the eyes
Answer A solar eclipse is one of nature’s most magnificent spectacles. A majority of the safety rules are concerned with the eyes as they are the most affected during a solar eclipse. By following a few simple rules, you can safely enjoy the view and be rewarded with memories to last a lifetime.
Stand still and cover your eyes with your eclipse glasses or solar viewer before looking up at the bright sun. After looking at the sun, turn away and remove your filter — do not remove it while looking at the sun.
Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched or damaged, discard it. Read and follow any instructions printed on or packaged with the filter.
Always supervise children using solar filters.
Do not look at the partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars, or other optical device.
Similarly, do not look at the sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eyes, causing serious injury.
Seek expert advice from an astronomer before using a solar filter with a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device. Note that solar filters must be attached to the front of any telescope, binoculars, camera lens, or other optics.
