What is the wave length of an ultraviolet wave?
From the related links: between about 10 nanometers (most energetic Extreme Ultraviolet) to about 300 nanometers (least energetic Near Ultraviolet). Visible violet light is about 400 nanometers.
What is the wavelength of visible lights?
The longest wavelengths visible to the average human being are in the range of ~700 nanometers which appears to be red to the human eye. However, I am capable of perceiving the red light that my 2 Logitech cordless laser mice emit at 848 nanometers. I hope I am not damaging my eyesight, but I don't believe the emission spectrum for such a laser would be very wide, so I would bet that 800-820 nm is still in the visible range, at least for younger people. I am 22 years old. the longest wavelengths of visible are red colored
How do hetero cyclic compounds absorb UV light?
When a compound absorbs light one must think of the mechanism by which the compound absorbs the light. Light is composed of photons. Photons are specific quantums of energy. We measure light by a range of nanometers that correspond with specific color regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The UV region is 280 to 400 nanometers. Most hetero cyclic compounds absorb radiation in both the UV-A and UV-B regions, particularly in the range of 280 to 350 nanometers, and are highly resistant to photodegradation. The range of photoexcitation (the nm range a molecule absorbs) is associated with both its bond stability and electron configuration.
What is the wavelength range of visible light?
400 (violet) to 700 (dark red) nanometers is the standard range stated in most sources.
How big is an individual virion of influenza virus?
Approximately 130 nanometers for average. Size varies by specific virus, however, and influenza viruses can range from 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles.
What is the range of the radii of most atoms in nanometers(nm)?
The atomic radii of most chemical elements are in the range 75-250 pm or 0,075-0,25 nm.
What is the range of the radii of most atoms in nanometers (NM)?
It is between 1 and 55 Angstroms.55 Angstroms equates to 5.5 nanometers.
The range in size of most atomic radii is approximately?
The Smaller Atoms [H to Ca] are in the [single] Angstrom range.
In the alkaline earth group atoms with the smallest radii are?
they are most reactive
What is the wave length of an ultraviolet wave?
From the related links: between about 10 nanometers (most energetic Extreme Ultraviolet) to about 300 nanometers (least energetic Near Ultraviolet). Visible violet light is about 400 nanometers.
The atoms of the most active non-metals have?
large atomic radii and low ionization energies
What is a cat scan wavelength?
Since the most common form of CT scan is X-Ray Computerized Tomography, the wavelength is between 0.1 nanometers to 10 nanometers which is the range used to classify x-rays.
How do humans see colors in wavelengths?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers

What units is the most often used to express the size of microbes?
nanometers

What is smaller atoms or bacteria?
a Virus is smaller than a bacteria. Viruses are so small that they are measured in nanometers. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers in diameter, while the largest viruses are more than 200 nanometers in diameter. The average virus is quite small when compared with even the smallest cells-- those of bacteria CREDITS TO: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER
