Best Answer

Yes, it does. UV-C wavelength is 200-280 nanometers, UV-B is 280-320 nm, and UV-A is 320-400nm.

What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum

What is the wavelength of shortwave radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation and shorter waves are consider "shortwave radiation" they begin at about 300 to 350 nm (just past violet in the visible spectrum)
