Radiation is a broad term since there are a lot of different types of "radiation." Example of Radiation include (but not limited to): Radiowaves, Microwaves, Infared, Visible light spectrum, Ultra Violet, X-Ray, Gammy Ray, and Cosmic Rays.
Examples of UV light are UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC doesn't penetrate the earth, but UVA and UVB do. UVA is responsible for sunburns and skin cancer after prolonged exposure, while UVB is tans for skin.
A more popular UV example would be black lights.

What is the effect of longer exposure to ultraviolet light?
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can have a number of effects on bacteria. For example, the exposure can lead to mutations in the bacteria's DNA or complete eradication of the bacteria, giving UV light antibacterial properties.
Which organism exhibits florescence under ultraviolet light?
Microsporum Canis
A mutation may result if the molecule shown is exposed to?
ultraviolet light or radiation of any kind
What are the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis also called?
Xeroderma Pigmentosum. this is a rare pigmentary and atrophic autosomal recessive disease in which extreme cutaneous sensitivity to ultraviolet light results from an enzyme deficiancy in the repair of DNA damaged by ultraviolet light. it begins in childhood, with early development of excessive freckling, telangiectases, keratomas, papillomas, and malignancies in sun-exposed skin, severe opthalmologic abnormalities, and, in some cases, neurological disorders.
What is some examples of ultraviolet light?
sun
What are examles of radiation and uv light?
Some examples of radiation and UV light include sunlight and ultraviolet light bulbs. Each produce special wavelengths of light which are not seen by the naked eye.
What are some Kinds of electromagntic radiation?
Visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, infrared and ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are examples of electromagnetic radiation

Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
After absorbing ultraviolet light a mineral releases visible light rays has the property of what?
The ability of a mineral or substance to glow during and after exposure to ultraviolet light is called fluorescence. If it continues to glow after the ultraviolet light has been turned off the effect is called phosphorescence.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
Ultraviolet light. That's why it's called so.
What three minerals glow under ultraviolet light and what is that glow called?
Some minerals that glow under ultraviolet light are scheelite, amber, halite.
What is example of mutagenic agent?
Radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays and ultraviolet light are examples of mutagens.
