because ultraviolet light is radiation lying in the ultraviolet range, with wave lengths shorter than light but longer than x rays, while visible light can be seen by the human eye so therefore can be avoided easier

Are X-rays visible light?
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
Why are ultraviolet rays more harmful to the skin than visible light?
That's related to the fact that UV rays have more energy per photon.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
EM rays which are in the range of visible light.
Are X-rays visible light?
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
Why are ultraviolet rays more harmful to the skin than visible light?
That's related to the fact that UV rays have more energy per photon.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.

What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
EM rays which are in the range of visible light.
What color are UV rays?
Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.
What is an example of an electomagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves can be radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays, etc. All of these listed things differ only in their frequency and wavelength. X-rays are the same thing as light emitted from a light bulb. The only difference is that X-rays have a much higher frequency than visible light. As a result, X-rays have much more energy, which make them harmful to living tissue.
