The main form of electromagnetic radiation that give you a sunburn is Ultra Violet (UV) radiation. (UV rays)
Ultra-violet is furthered graded to UVa UVb and UVc.
UVa - is necessary for the production of Vitamin D
UVb - is required for certain anti-cancer process in the skin.
UVc - has no beneficial function and is the most energetic and responsible for the majority of the sun burn.
