Why do more ultraviolet waves reach earth today?
More ultraviolet waves reach earth today because the atmosphere is changing and they do not get filtered out.
What layer on earth shields ultraviolet waves?
ozone layer
Where do P waves travel fastest?
Generally everywave will travel the fastest through solids. These waves include sound, and other vibrational waves. But Electro Magnetic Radiation wave along with light will slow down and can very well change direction mid stream. They travel quite fast through slate
The strongest energy waves that the Sun emits are?
Ultraviolet rays or infared rays
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
Which can travel as fast as the speed of light?
-- radio waves-- microwaves-- heart waves-- infrared waves-- all of the visible colors-- ultraviolet waves-- X-rays-- gamma rays
Do ultraviolet waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum?
Ultraviolet and visible light waves all travel at the same speed whenever they're all traveling through the same material.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?
They both travel at the same speed, the speed of light
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
How fast do these waves travel?
really fast man. like super fast.
What damage can ultraviolet waves do to homans?
There are no such things as "ultraviolet waves" or "homans".
What type of wave doesn't require a medium to travel?
Transverse waves. Eg. Electromagnetic radiation like infrared, Ultraviolet waves etc.
How fast do Transverse waves travel?
3x10^8
What type of transverse waves can travel through matter or space are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles and include X rays ultraviolet waves and visible light?
Electromagnetic waves
