That's related to the fact that UV rays have more energy per photon.

Why does ultraviolet light have a big effect on us but visible light doesn't?

it have more energy than visible light


Can Humans can perceive ultraviolet light with their eyes?

No. By definition, "ultraviolet" is that which is beyond the visible light - more specifically, beyond the violet part of visible light.


Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.


Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.


How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?

Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.


Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?

No, ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Visible light falls within the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 400 nanometers.


Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?

Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.


What type of electromagnetic wave has more energy than a visible light wave?

Ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays have more energy than visible light waves.


What ems wave is necessary for photosynthesis?

Ultraviolet It need visible light. Red and blue light are more preferred.


Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?

Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.


Which type of light has the most energy?

Ultraviolet light has the most energy among visible light, followed by visible light, then infrared light. This is because the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths having higher energy. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, making it more energetic.
