Visible light has a wavelength of 400nm-700nm (from violet to red). Ultraviolet rays which starts immediately after the violet region of visible light have their wavelength from 10nm-400nm.(where nm means nano-meter)

Is not part of the UV spectrum?

Infrared radiation is not part of the UV spectrum; it falls outside of the UV spectrum and has longer wavelengths than visible light. UV radiation, on the other hand, consists of shorter wavelengths than visible light and is classified as UVA, UVB, and UVC based on the wavelength range.


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.


What is solar blind?

Solar blind refers to a range of ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths that are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, making it difficult for these wavelengths to reach the Earth's surface. This provides protection from harmful UV radiation, particularly for living organisms. Solar blind detectors and filters are often used to selectively detect or block UV radiation within this range.


What form of UV radiation is absorbed by O2?

Oxygen absorbs ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths shorter than 242 nm, specifically in the UV-C range. UV-C radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to form ozone in the stratosphere, which helps protect Earth from harmful UV radiation reaching the surface.


Does IR have UV Rays?

Infrared (IR) radiation is distinct from ultraviolet (UV) radiation as they are found at opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, while UV radiation has shorter wavelengths than visible light.


What is the frequency range of uv radiation?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation spans a wide range of frequencies, typically from about 10^15 to 10^17 Hz. This range is further divided into UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), and UVC (100-280 nm) wavelengths.


Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?

No, UV rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. UV radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to infrared radiation.


Is the UV radiation the sortest wavelength?

No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.


Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?

Photons of UV-B radiation are more energetic than photons of UV-A radiation. UV-B radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to UV-A radiation. UV-B radiation is classified as potentially harmful to human health, while UV-A radiation is less energetic and is more commonly associated with tanning and aging effects on the skin.


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.


Does uv radiation have a greater frequency than violet light?

No, violet light has a higher frequency than UV radiation. UV radiation falls in the electromagnetic spectrum with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the visible light spectrum.


What has more heat uv or iv?

UV (ultraviolet) radiation, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, is not heat. IV (intravenous) medication is usually administered at room temperature. IR (infrared) radiation, with wavelengths longer than visible light, is heat.
