Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?
Yes, UV light and UV rays are the same thing, light emit "rays."
The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
Can UV rays penetrate glass of petridish?
UV rays can penetrate glass of petridish. Even on a cloudy day sun's UV rays still reach earth's surface.
Which of these rays are block by sunglasses?
Sunglasses block the rays from UV or Ultra Violet light. Sunglasses do not block out 100% of UV rays, however.
What properties of gamma rays determine why it is found within the spectrum?
The only property that a ray or wave needs to have in order to be located within the electromagnetic spectrum is that it must be an electromagnetic wave. Gamma rays meet that requirement nicely.
What spectrum is filterd in the ozone layer?
The sun rays consist of various spectrum of rays. Among them UV spectrum is filtered.
What is suns UV rays?
The UV rays of the sun are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are high energy radiations. They build and destroy ozone both.
Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?
Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.
What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the majority of the suns rays?
IR, visible, UV. Our sun's radiation peaks in the yellow portion of the spectrum.
Why are UV rays invisible?
UV rays are part of electromagnetic spectrum just like light. Some rays can be detected by the eye and some cant. The sunlight we see is the visible part of this spectrum that is why it is called visible light. Initially only light would reach the earth but now because of ozone depletion even UV rays reach the earth. So basically they are invisible because they are not part of visible light.
Includes x-rays and uv?
X-Rays and Ultraviolet, along with Infrared, Infragreen, Gamma-rays, Beta-Rays and others are all part of the invisible portion of the light spectrum.
What objects can give off UV rays or waves besides the usage of the sun?
Spectrum gives UV rays or waves besides the usage of the sun
What are uv light rays?
Very short light rays. Ultra Violet. Less than the visible spectrum. Shorter than 400 nano meters.
Which rays of the sun can in high quantities damage the skin?
UV RAYS!!! The sun is the major natural source of UV Rays. UV Rays are invisable. They are still a form of light rays. UV stands for Ultra Violiet Rays. These (UV) rays cause sunburn and damage the eyes. Overexposure of UV Rays can cause serious skin cancer. UV Rays, however, can have useful effects, too. They can destroy harmful organisms.

How does the ozone layer protects the earth from uv rays coming from the sun?
Some gasses are opaque to certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ozone O3 is opaque to UV rays and blocks them. Other gasses are opaque to other wavelengths.
What is UV energy?
UV energy is in UV rays. These are high energy rays.
