The three types of UV rays, in order of increasing frequencies are:
UVA rays (which account for 95% of the sunlight we come in contact with)
UVB rays
UVC rays (which are almost completely filtered out by the atmosphere).

What types of people use the ultraviolet radiation?
People who use a tanning machine because it has ultraviolet waves
What types of solar radiation penetrate the atmosphere?
UV
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
What wavelength of radiation do the gases in the atmosphere absorb?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths absorbed by the atmosphere. There are an infinite number of wavelengths that aren't absorbed by the atmosphere. Electromagnetic radiations having wavelength between range of 5-8micrometer are absorbed by the atmosphere.
Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce ultraviolet rays infrared waves x rays or cosmic rays?
Exposure to radiation in the ultraviolet region is the most common way of causing fluorescence, but not the only way. Exposure to enough radiation for one electron to absorb two photons can cause fluorescence.
What are two types of non visible radiation?
infrared and ultraviolet
Ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B are the two types of radiation form sunlight only uva is dangerous?
no.. both are
What types of people use the ultraviolet radiation?
People who use a tanning machine because it has ultraviolet waves
A sunburn is caused by overexposure to what kind of ray?
One type of radiation that CAN give you sunburn is UV radiation
What are six types of EMR?
there are actually seven types of EMRradio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays & gamma rays
Does earth's atmosphere block all radiation equally?
No. There are significant differences between different types of radiation. Visible light and radio waves go right through (and reach Earth's surface); most other radiations are absorbed.
What types of radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum?
the types of radiation includes gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves
What types of solar radiation penetrate the atmosphere?
UV
Does infrared radiation cause burns?
yes, the sun emits all types of the electromagnetic spectrum including infra red
Which forms of radiation are never able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere?
The major types of radiation are: 1. alpha particles, which are free electrons. 2. beta particles, which are the nuclei of helium atoms 3. gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation like sunlight or X-rays. Alpha and Beta particles are deflected and absorbed by the atmosphere.
What are four types of radiation from the sun?
I believe they would be infared, radio, ultraviolet, and electromagnetic waves.
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
