How can ultraviolet waves harm people?
UV rays can kill skin cells, and eventually cause cancer.
Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?
UV waves are shorter than infrared waves.
Which type of wave from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices?
Infrared waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices.
What is the classification of electromagnetic waves?
uv
What is the wave length of uv waves?
The wave of UV is shorter then visible light but longer then x-ray waves. It ranges between 400nm and 10nm.
What waves can causes sunburn?
Ultraviolet (UV) waves cause sunburn.
What is a UV Wave?
A UV wave is an Ultraviolet wave from the sun. UV waves are the main cause of sunburn.
What can Skin cancer cause?
UV waves found in sunlight can cause skin cancer.
At what uv do you need protection?
UV doesn't protect us. Ozone protects us from UV.
What help in drying of wet clothes- ir rays or uv rays?
Ir waves are better. It is because they contain heat, not the uv rays.
What can cause a mutated gene?
# UV light # carcinogenics # heat # viruses
What transfer method carries energy from the sun to earth?
Electro magnetic waves eg:-light,UV,heat
How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?
IR waves are longer than UV waves.
How do you stop uv waves from going through plywood?
uv waves cannot penetrate plywood
Communications satellites transmit UV waves?
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
Why can UV break apart molecules and IR only speeds up the molecules vibrations?
Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than Infrared waves. Since the relationship between wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional, UV waves have a much higher frequency than IR waves. IR waves have a frequency around 1012 Hertz, while UV waves' frequencies are around 1018 Hz. Thus, UV waves are more powerful than IR waves and can cause binds between molecules to break much more easily than IR waves.
How can ultraviolet waves harm people?
UV rays can kill skin cells, and eventually cause cancer.
