An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light.
It is a transverse wave
Without going into a lot of detail trying to describe them, that phenomenon is referred to as an "electromagnetic wave". They are all around us. Depending on wavelength, they have names like 'radio', 'microwaves', 'heat', 'light', 'ultraviolet', 'x-ray', and 'gamma ray'.
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
Gamma, X-ray, ultra-violet, visible light, infra-red, heat, radio.
A honey bee's colour vision extends well into the ultra violet range of the spectrum so thay can see ultra violet light.
Because it is light, a kind of wave.
A mirror and most surfaces reflect lots of things like light and heat. If you shine sunlight on a mirror it will reflect sunlight. Sunlight is the radiation which the sun gives off, within sunlight there are many different wave lengths with include infa-red and ultra-violet. In short a mirror with reflect certain wave-lengths, to understand better it is best you research on waves.
It scatters white light (blue sky) and filters out some ultra-violet, infra-red, x-ray, and gamma ray wavelengths.
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
The ultra-high energy cosmic ray has the most energy discovered, so far.
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Violet Ray - 1917 was released on: USA: 26 January 1917
It splits in differents colors according to their different wave length. An example of refracted light is a rainbow. The ray is split in 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
