∙ 15y agoUltraviolet light is just beyond violet light in terms of frequency. Its main natural source is the sun and other stars; artificially, it is produced by electric-arc lamps for scientific purposes. Ultraviolet rays are often harmful to plants and animals, including humans. Their danger is generally proportional to their wavelength. They are divided into three categories: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. UV-A has the longest wavelength and is least dangerous; UV-B is of intermediate wavelength and is the type of sun emission that causes sunburn and, over long periods of exposure, skin cancer; UV-C has a very short wavelength and kills bacteria and viruses so well that it is often used to sterilize surfaces.

∙ 9y agoFate and Transport of Ultraviolet Radiation
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation represents 3% to 5% of the total solar radiation that penetrates the earth's surface (1). Of the types of radiation emitted from the sun, UV radiation is believed to be almost entirely responsible for the deleterious effects sunlight can have on biological systems (2). In humans, these effects include acute effects, such as, sunburns, as well as more serious chronic effects including skin cancer, suppression of the immune system, cataracts, and premature aging of the skin.

What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?
1) Nuclear 2)Radiation 3)Your welcome
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
What does Yucca Mountain have to do with nuclear radiation?
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
How has nuclear chemistry changed medicine?
Nuclear chemistry has changed medicine and made it more efficient. Radiation controls have been used to change the chemical properties of various aspects of the medicine industry.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
What is the relationship between nuclear radiation and nuclear fallout?
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
Is californium used for nuclear radiation?
Yes, isotopes of californium emit gamma radiations, alpha radiations and neutrons; on these properties are based the application of californium.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?

Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
