Ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation are both types of ultraviolet light that can harm the skin. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause premature aging and wrinkles, while UVB rays primarily affect the outer layers of the skin and are the main cause of sunburns and skin cancer. It is important to protect your skin from both types of UV radiation by using sunscreen and seeking shade.
What else can I help you with?
Would the radiations in part a or part b be visible to the human eye?
The radiation in part a would not be visible to the human eye because it is ultraviolet radiation. However, the radiation in part b would be visible to the human eye if it falls within the visible spectrum, such as visible light.
What is a type of ultraviolet ray abbr.?
UVA (ultraviolet A), UVB (ultraviolet B), UVC (ultraviolet C) are types of ultraviolet rays.
Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than violet light. Violet light is at the end of the visible light spectrum with longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet radiation, which falls just beyond the violet end of the spectrum.
What is the wave length of UV?
The wave of UV is shorter then visible light but longer then x-ray waves. It ranges between 400nm and 10nm.
When describing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency the energy the electromagnetic radiation has. A) direct less B) dire?
The relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic radiation is inverse - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Higher frequency radiation carries more energy, as energy is directly proportional to frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What does the B stand for in ultraviolet B?
The "B" in ultraviolet B stands for the specific range of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which falls between 280-315 nanometers on the electromagnetic spectrum. UVB radiation is responsible for causing sunburn and plays a role in tanning and vitamin D synthesis.
How does ultraviolet b affect melanin?
Exposure to ultraviolet B radiation increases the production of melanin.
Ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B are the two types of radiation form sunlight only uva is dangerous?
no.. both are

What is sunburns?
A burn on the skin caused by excessive exposure to the sun or other sources of ultraviolet-A and -B radiation.
Is uva radiation the lowest?
No, ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation is not the lowest on the electromagnetic spectrum. It falls between ultraviolet B (UVB) and visible light in terms of wavelength and energy. UVA radiation is longer in wavelength compared to UVB, but shorter than visible light.

What job does the ozone do?
The ozone layer acts as a shield in the Earth's stratosphere, protecting us from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It absorbs most of the sun's UV-B radiation and some of the UV-A radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface and protecting living organisms from potential harm, such as skin cancer and cataracts.
What is the differences between ppp and pptp?
b.
What is the range of uv region?
The UV region typically refers to electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 nm and 400 nm, encompassing the ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB), and ultraviolet C (UVC) regions. This range is just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. UV radiation is commonly categorized as UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), and UVC (100-280 nm) based on the wavelengths involved.
Is uv radiation harmful?
UV radiation is very harmful in many ways, first off they are invisible rays that come from the sun, UV radiation is made of ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB), and ultraviolet C (UVC). These rays burn skin and cause cancer. UVB and UVC penetrate the ozone layer. UVA and UVB cause skin cancer, for this reason, sunscreens are recommended that block UVA and UVB.
