Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
How does Ultraviolet light work?
UV light is the same as any other kind of light or radiation along the spectrum from radioactive waves to radio waves. The difference between them is their wavelength and fequency. The longer the wavelength, the less the frequency. UV light is high-frequency short-wavelength light, just a bit more high-frequency than the highest-frequency visible light, which is violet. How does light work? Well, even physicists aren't quite sure.
What is the frequency opf UV?
UV has a wavelenght of 400nm and less you can calculate the frequency with this formula V (frequency) = c (speed of light) / λ (wavelenght)
Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?
UV waves are shorter than infrared waves.
Is the ultraviolet radiation from the sun higher or lower in frequency than radar waves?
Using an Electromagnetic Spectrum diagram, UV radiation has a frequency range around 1016 Hz. This is higher than the listed frequency ranges used for radar, which are under 1010 Hz.
Why can UV break apart molecules and IR only speeds up the molecules vibrations?
Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than Infrared waves. Since the relationship between wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional, UV waves have a much higher frequency than IR waves. IR waves have a frequency around 1012 Hertz, while UV waves' frequencies are around 1018 Hz. Thus, UV waves are more powerful than IR waves and can cause binds between molecules to break much more easily than IR waves.
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.
Which part of solar radiation does the ozone layer absorb?
Ozone layer absorbs the UV radiations of the sun. These UV radiations are very high frequency waves.
Which has the lowest frequency uv- b uv- a uv- c?
UV-A
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
What is the most important function of ozone in our atmosphere?
The most important function of ozone is to protect from UV rays. these are high frequency waves from the sun.

Are Low Frequency sounds are transmitted further than high frequency sounds?
No. They are both waves it depends solely on the medium they are travelling through. Only different types of waves travel longer or shorter distances (uv further than sound etc) :)
How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?
IR waves are longer than UV waves.
How do you stop uv waves from going through plywood?
uv waves cannot penetrate plywood
Communications satellites transmit UV waves?
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
What is the frequency opf UV?
UV has a wavelenght of 400nm and less you can calculate the frequency with this formula V (frequency) = c (speed of light) / λ (wavelenght)
