How much greater is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet radiation than the energy of an average photon of sunlight?
The energy of a photon of ultraviolet radiation is greater than the energy of an average photon of sunlight because ultraviolet radiation has higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, which correspond to higher energy photons. The difference in energy can be significant, with ultraviolet photons having several times more energy than photons of sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the difference between ultraviolet and visible radiation?
ultraviolet radiation has a greater frequency than visible light, that is to say that it cycles ("travels up and down") more times per distance traveled. it can also be expressed as having a shorter wavelength (distance traveled during one cycle) than visible light
What form of radiation has the greater frequency?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency among the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by X-rays and ultraviolet rays.
What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?
An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.
What is ultraviolet radation?
UV stands for "ultraviolet" radiation, radiation of a shorter wavelength than visible light. It is the part of sunlight that heats the atmosphere and the surface of Earth. One form of UV radiation causes human skin to tan.

What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)

Who were suntiger sunglasses?
A firm that used for the purpose of making sunglasses some NASA research on ultraviolet light and eagles eyes to develop protection for welders. Their original color was Sunset Orange and their glasses were advertised in aviation magazines because pilots flying at high altitudes are exposed to greater amounts of ultraviolet radiation than persons on the ground. Ultraviolet radiation is a major contributor to the growth of cataracts.
Is cellphone radiation more harmful than just standing in bright sunshine?
No. Cell phone radiation is radio waves in the Megahertz and Gigahertz frequencies. This does not break up molecules in your body. Cell phone radiation is harmless. Solar radiation is infra red, visible light and ultraviolet light which can burn you and break up molecules on your skin, and also particle radiation which can break up molecules deep in your body.
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.
Why the skin is so susceptible to cancer?
The skin is susceptible to cancer because it is the outermost layer of the human body, and is constantly exposed to sunlight (well, almost). Sunlight contains Ultraviolet rays (a form of radiation, as with all light), that cause damage to the nucleus in the skin cells. This causes mutation to occur within the DNA, which in turn can lead to cancerous cells developing. Because our skin is always under ultraviolet attack, it leads to a greater possibility of cancerous cells developing, and therefore skin cancer appearing.
How is the UV index calculated and what factors are taken into consideration in determining the level of ultraviolet radiation exposure?
The UV index is calculated based on the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Factors considered include the angle of the sun, ozone levels in the atmosphere, cloud cover, and altitude. The higher the UV index, the greater the risk of sunburn and skin damage.
Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?
Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)
