They don't, the most they will do is give you skin cancer.
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.

You may experience sunburned skin if you allow your skin to be exposed to the ultraviolet waves that penetrate the clouds on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet waves are at the opposite end of the visible light spectrum from infrared waves. Ultraviolet (UV) waves are longer than X-rays.
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
The wavelength of ultraviolet waves is shorter than the wavelength of infrared waves. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, while infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm.
Substances like glass, sunglasses with UV protection, certain fabrics, and sunscreens with UV filters can block or absorb ultraviolet waves. These materials help to protect the skin and eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
they are both electromagnetic waves
