What type of energy have wavelengths shorter than visible light?
Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma radiation do.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in street lights?
Street lamps are designed to emit visible light. Some of them do this by first emitting ultraviolet radiation that is converted to visible light by a coating on the inside of the light bulb.
How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?
Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.
Are there types of different lighting?
ANSWER:Yes, there's a spectrum of light. Light is just electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation encompasses X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light, infrared light, radio waves, and visible light. Human eyes only see one type of light: visible light. So every type of light you observe is visible light.
What type of radiation causes sun burn?
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
This type of radiation lies just outside the high-frequency end of the visible spectrum?
ultraviolet radiation
Is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light?
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
What type of radiation begins with the letter U?
The word is ultraviolet radiation. It is wavelengths that are shorter than those of visible violet light but longer than those of x-rays.
What type of energy travels as visible radiation?
Optical Light is visible radiation energy.
What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?
An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent tube does that.
X-rays are a type of what radiation?
X-Rays are part of the Electromagnetic spectrum, along with radio waves, microwaves, infra-red, visible light, ultraviolet rays and gamma radiation.
