Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
What type of radiation from the nucleus is more penetrating than either alpha or beta particles?
Gamma radiation
Compared to visible light ultraviolet radiation is more harmful to human skin and eyes because ultraviolet radiation has a?
higher frequency... resonance with DNA
Which electromagnetic wave has the highest penetrating power?
ultra voilet rays are characterized with high penetrating power ============================= The EM radiation with the highest penetrating power would be the flavor with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. Those are the waves we call "gamma rays". A moment's thought will remind you that X-rays are more penetrating than ultraviolet rays are ... otherwise we'd be getting dental ultraviolets instead of dental X-rays.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
What is the effect of halogenated hydrocarbons to the environment?
CFC's Chlorinated Fluorocarbons) one of the halogenated hydrocarbon subgroups are causing a considerable portion of the break down of the ozone at higher altitudes resulting in more (harmful) ultraviolet radiation from the sun penetrating the atmosphere.
Are X-rays less dangerous to health than ultraviolet radiation?
No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.
What particle has the highest penetrating ability?
Of the "basic" types of particulate radiation, the neutron has the highest penetrating ability. It is much more penetrating than the electron, positron, proton, or alpha particle.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?
Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
Is ultraviolet radiation helpful in treating vitiligo?
Yes there are number of vitiligo treatments which are related with ultraviolet radiation for example UVB narrowband therapy and PUVA (Combination of Psoralen and Ultraviolet A). For more information on vitiligo treatments visit: http://www.vitiligoguide.com/vitiligo-treatment/
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
