Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.

What is selectivity in glass?
Selectivity is the optical property of glass (or other materials) which allow to pass a large part of visible light, but reflects or absorbs a large part of non-visible light (such as ultraviolet and infrared). This is a good feature for buildings since, sometimes, we want more daylight to go through the windows but we do not want heat to get in the building. It is important to mention that ultraviolet and infrared light (or energy) carries heat but not illumination (or visible light).
When calcite absorbs ultraviolet light and gives off red light it is displaying the property of?
Fluorescence
Property of energy transfer that is always away from the source?
Radiation
What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity
Is decomposes on exposure to ultra violet light a physical or chemical property of matter?
Decomposition is a chemical change, therefore, when decomposition results from exposure to ultraviolet light, that reflects a chemical property.
What property of light does a laser show clearly?
now lasers can produce many different colors, as well as well as infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
Does the ozone in the stratosphere filter out much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
Yes,it does. That is the main property and use of ozone layer.
What property of waves let us see things which don't emit light?
Our eyes can only see visible light. We can use other technologies such as infrared or ultraviolet sensors, but these use electronics to convert them back into visible light that we can see when they are displayed on the monitor. Sometimes we think we can see infrared radiation or ultraviolet light with our own eyes, but in reality those sources are emitting a small amount of visible light since they are so close to the visible light spectrum.
