Medicine:
Ultraviolet waves are effective in killing bacteria and viruses. Hospitals use germicidal lamps that produce these waves to sterilize equipment, water and air in operating rooms. It is also used to treat acne and psoriasis.
Industry:
The Food and Drug industry uses germicidal lamps to disinfect various types of products and their containers. The main use of ultraviolet is in the manufacturing integrated circuits.
Science:
Scientists learn about the make up and energy levels of atoms by studying UV rays. Experts also learn abut distant stars and galaxies by analyzing the UV rays that are given off. Artificial sources of ultraviolet light are often used to stimulate the effects of solar ultraviolet radiation in the study of the deterioration of materials on exposure to sunlight
.
Consumer Goods:
Ultraviolet waves are used to identify materials by the glow or fluorescence under them. They are used to make black lights. May food and drug companies use germicidal lamps to disinfect various types of products, and their containers.
UV light can be used to identify objects that is normally invisible to the naked eye (ie. stains)
UV light can also be used to kill germs.
production of vitamin D
enables certain anti-cancer functions in cells
Ultra Violet waves are not useful as they are the rays the sun beams off
Ultraviolet light can be used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder. It alleviates patients' symptoms similarly to how sunlight would alleviate them.
Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.
the waves are electromagnetic waves.

People who use a tanning machine because it has ultraviolet waves

Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
There are no such things as "ultraviolet waves" or "homans".
You may experience sunburned skin if you allow your skin to be exposed to the ultraviolet waves that penetrate the clouds on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet waves are at the opposite end of the visible light spectrum from infrared waves. Ultraviolet (UV) waves are longer than X-rays.
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
ultraviolet waves
Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.
they are both electromagnetic waves
