When we expose our skin to UVB it stimulates the production of vitamin D, Another way is curing special glues with a UV light to harden the glues quickly. UVC is able to disable the strands of DNA in bacteria and viruses and make them inert.

Does earth emit ultraviolet radiation?

The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.


Do ultraviolet spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy involve electromagnetic radiation in their operation?

Yes, both ultraviolet spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy involve the use of electromagnetic radiation. Ultraviolet spectroscopy uses UV light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher energies, while infrared spectroscopy uses infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths and lower energies.

What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


Is visible light a type of ultraviolet radiation?

No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.


Which country has ultraviolet radiation?

At present, Australia is said to receive high levels of ultraviolet radiation.


Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?

No, ultraviolet radiation is not emitted by the Earth itself. Ultraviolet radiation comes from the sun and is a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light. Earth's atmosphere filters and absorbs some of the incoming ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the surface.


When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?

Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.


Why do you need some ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation can kill some microorganisms and has a role in the vitamin A synthesis.

Can ultraviolet radiation be used in heat lamps?

No, ultraviolet radiation cannot be used directly in heat lamps because ultraviolet light does not generate heat. Heat lamps typically produce infrared radiation, which is what provides the warmth. Ultraviolet radiation is more commonly used for applications like sterilization or tanning.


What is wrong with ultraviolet light?

Ultraviolet radiation can be a cause of skin cancers.
