In photobiologyWavebands: Waveband Definitions for UV, VIS, and IR Radiation

#' Gives values for naked DNA BSWF (SETLOW) as a function of wavelength
#'
#' This function gives a set of numeric multipliers that can be used
#' as a weight to calculate effective doses and irradiances.
#'
#' @param w.length numeric array of w.length (nm)
#'
#' @return a numeric array of the same length as \code{w.length} with values for
#'   the BSWF normalized as in the original source.  The returned values are
#'   based on quantum effectiveness units.
#'
#' @note The digitized data as used in the TUV model covers the wavelength range
#'   from 256 nm to 364 nm. For longer wavelengths we set the value to zero, and
#'   for shorter wavelengths we extrapolate the value for 256 nm.
