According to <http:/www.heraeus-noblelight.com/en/uv-disinfection-oxidation/information-for-disinfection-and-oxidation/services-and-events/emission-spectra-of-germicidal-lamps.html> 254nm appears to be the most common. Shorter wavelengths appear to create ozone

What is the wavelenght of UV?

The wavelength of UV radiation energy is typically shorter than the wavelength of normal sunlight radiation, so you can't see UV


How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?

IR waves are longer than UV waves.


Will a uv sterilizer kill ammonia in a fresh water tank?

No. A UV sterilizer does not remove ammonia from a freshwater tank. UV works by exposing water to UV-C light, which can help control certain free-floating microorganisms and algae, but ammonia is a dissolved chemical compound and passes through the UV unit. To control ammonia, focus on a healthy biological filter and beneficial bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrite and then nitrate. Regular water changes and avoiding overfeeding can also help keep ammonia levels under control.


How do I determine what wavelength to use in petroleum product to determine ultraviolet absorption?

To determine UV-absorption you need to use UV-light. And there's a defined wavelength for UV-light.

Where can you purchase a UV sterilizer?

For a UV sterilizer, you can check specialty water-treatment suppliers, pool and pond equipment stores, or reputable online retailers. The right choice depends on whether you need it for drinking water, a pond, aquarium, or another application. Aqua Ultraviolet offers UV sterilizers and clarifiers for different water-treatment needs. It’s worth comparing the unit’s flow rate, application, and installation requirements before purchasing.

What are the harmful of uv rays?

UV rays are high wavelength waves. They are fatal for life on earth.


What is the difference between uv-c uv-a and uv-b?

U.V can be separated according to its energy level and wavelength with UVa having the lowest energy and longest wavelength followed by UVb and ultimately UVc which has the shortest wavelength and highest energy level. You may be familiar with UVa and UVb as the part of the suns rays which cause tanning, aging, and skin cancer. The Sun also emits UVc the most powerful and dangerous type of U.V., fortunately for us most of this is stopped in the upper atmosphere by gasses like ozone.
