Where is x-rays located on the Electromagnetic spectrum?
X-rays are located between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light.
How are Ultra-violet rays made?
Ultraviolet rays are produced naturally by the sun as part of its electromagnetic spectrum. They can also be produced artificially by specialized lamps or devices that emit UV light. UV rays are classified into three categories based on wavelength: UVA, UVB, and UVC.
How was UV light discovered?
Ultraviolet (UV) light was discovered by Johann Wilhelm Ritter in 1801 while investigating the effects of sunlight. He found that invisible rays located beyond the violet end of the visible light spectrum could darken silver chloride-soaked paper.
Which type of em spectrum has the order highest to the lowest wavelength?
The electromagnetic spectrum, from highest to lowest wavelength, is ordered as follows: Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?
Yes, UV light and UV rays refer to the same thing - ultraviolet radiation. UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye. UV light or UV rays are terms used to describe this form of radiation.
What spectrum is filterd in the ozone layer?
The sun rays consist of various spectrum of rays. Among them UV spectrum is filtered.
What is suns UV rays?
The UV rays of the sun are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are high energy radiations. They build and destroy ozone both.
Where is x-rays located on the Electromagnetic spectrum?
X-rays are located between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light.
Is the UV radiation the sortest wavelength?
No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
Includes x-rays and uv?
X-Rays and Ultraviolet, along with Infrared, Infragreen, Gamma-rays, Beta-Rays and others are all part of the invisible portion of the light spectrum.
What are uv light rays?
Very short light rays. Ultra Violet. Less than the visible spectrum. Shorter than 400 nano meters.
Which rays of the sun can in high quantities damage the skin?
UV RAYS!!! The sun is the major natural source of UV Rays. UV Rays are invisable. They are still a form of light rays. UV stands for Ultra Violiet Rays. These (UV) rays cause sunburn and damage the eyes. Overexposure of UV Rays can cause serious skin cancer. UV Rays, however, can have useful effects, too. They can destroy harmful organisms.

How does the ozone layer protects the earth from uv rays coming from the sun?
Some gasses are opaque to certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ozone O3 is opaque to UV rays and blocks them. Other gasses are opaque to other wavelengths.
Why are UV rays invisible?
UV rays are part of electromagnetic spectrum just like light. Some rays can be detected by the eye and some cant. The sunlight we see is the visible part of this spectrum that is why it is called visible light. Initially only light would reach the earth but now because of ozone depletion even UV rays reach the earth. So basically they are invisible because they are not part of visible light.
What is another name for ultraviolet rays?
UV rays

Which atmospheric layer is where the ozone layer is located?
It is located in the stratosphere. It protects us from the UV rays.
