Ultraviolet Light or UV Radiation
Ultraviolet light or UV is electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 10 to 400 nanometers (nm), which is between x-rays and visible light. Because it is largely invisible to humans,

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as
Everyone is exposed to UV radiation from the sun and an increasing number of people are exposed to artificial sources used in industry, commerce and recreation.
Ultraviolet (UV) "light" is a type of electromagnetic radiation. UV light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Purple and violet light have shorter wavelengths than other colors of light, and ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is undetectable by the human eye, although, when it falls on certain materials, it may cause them to fluoresce —i.e., emit electromagnetic radiation of lower
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches the Earth''s surface is in wavelengths between 290 and 400 nm (nanometers, or billionths of a meter). This is shorter than wavelengths of visible light,
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than either visible blue or violet light and is not visible to the human eye, is responsible for sunburns and other adverse health effects.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is undetectable by the human eye,
Ultraviolet (UV) light is part of a family of radiations called the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. UV is just beyond the violet end of visible light and has smaller wavelengths and greater energy.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds. While it has some benefits for people, including the creation
The Ultraviolet Index (UVI) is a rating scale, with numbers from 1 to 11, which indicate the amount of skin-damaging UV rays reaching the Earth''s surface during the day.
The sun emits energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths: visible light that you see, infrared radiation that you feel as heat, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation that you can''t see or feel.
