What are two examples of ultraviolet waves?

Two examples of ultraviolet waves are UVA (long-wave ultraviolet) and UVB (short-wave ultraviolet). UVA radiation can penetrate deeper into the skin and is associated with skin aging, while UVB radiation is responsible for sunburn and can contribute to skin cancer.


Why does a radio wave carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


What are the speeds of a long wave light compared to a short wave light?

Long wave light travels at a slower speed than short wave light in a vacuum. This is due to long wave light having a lower frequency and longer wavelength, causing it to interact less with the surrounding medium compared to short wave light.


What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?

Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.


Does an infrared have have more or less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

Infrared waves have far less energy than ultraviolet, being much further down the spectrum.

Ultraviolet.


Do all colors have the same wave lengths?

The visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum is below the ultraviolet but above infrared. Purple light has the highest wave length and red has the lowest.


What kind of waves can be seen by insects?

Unlike humans, insects have the ability to see ultraviolet wave lengths. The champions at sensing infrared radiation are believed to be the beetles.

Does the radiation emitted by earth's surface have longer or shorter wavelengths compared to solar radiation?

The radiation emitted by Earth's surface has longer wavelengths compared to solar radiation. Earth emits long-wave radiation in the infrared range, while solar radiation consists of shorter-wave radiation in the visible and ultraviolet ranges.
