Does UV radiation have more energy than violet light?

Violet light: 380-450 nm Red light: 620-750 nm nm=nanometer=10-9 meter


What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?

Sound because it has more waves than light.


How is ultraviolet light more damaging to cells than infrared light would be?

UV is higher energy than IR and can therefor deposit more energy in cells.


Why is there no substance that convert visible light to UV?

There is no substance that can directly convert visible light to UV because the energy required to promote electrons from the visible light energy levels to the UV energy levels is too high within a single step. The energy levels of the electrons in UV are simply too far apart from those in visible light for a direct conversion to occur.


Compare the frequency and energy carried by UV waves to that of visible light?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves have a higher frequency and greater energy compared to visible light. While visible light frequencies range from approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz), UV waves span frequencies from about 750 THz to several petahertz (PHz). This increased frequency in UV waves translates to higher energy photons, making UV radiation capable of causing chemical reactions, such as those involved in sunburn, which visible light cannot do. Thus, UV radiation is more energetic and more harmful than visible light.


What color is carotene under a UV light?

Carotene will fluoresce in UV light, but the "colour" of the fluorescence is infra red and cannot been seen by the human eye.


Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?

UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.


Does ultraviolet light carry more energy than infrared radiation?

Yes. Radiations on the "red" end of the spectrum, such as radio, microwave, and infrared, have markedly less energy than visible light. Frequencies on the "purple" end, on the other hand, such as ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma, have considerably more.


Does UV radiation or violet light have lower energy?

UV radiation has higher energy compared to violet light. UV radiation falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light, including violet light.


Does UV light affect the melting of an ice cube?

UV light can contribute to the melting of an ice cube by transferring energy to the ice cube, causing it to absorb the energy and melt faster. The UV light can increase the temperature of the ice cube, accelerating the melting process compared to no exposure to UV light.


Visible light fits between x-rays and uv?

No, the visible light region is between Infra-red and UV.


Is ultraviolet light and solar energy the same?

No, ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is part of the sun's energy spectrum. Solar energy refers to the radiant energy emitted by the sun, which includes visible light, infrared radiation, and UV radiation. UV light is just one component of the overall solar energy that reaches the Earth.
