Ultraviolet Radiation
Alex Norton
On the Electromagnetic Spectrum
                                  Ultraviolet




Wavelength between 400nm, that of violet light and 15nm,
                    that of X rays.

        Ultraviolet literally means “beyond violet”.
Types
Name     Wavelength / nm    Energy per photon / ev

 UV-A       400 - 320             3.10 - 3.94

 UV-B       320 - 280             3.94 - 4.43

 UV-C       280 - 100             4.43 - 12.4


Generally speaking, the shorter the wavelength, the
         more dangerous the radiation is.
UV-A


Passes through ordinary glass.
Makes up for 98.7% of the ultraviolet radiation that
reaches the Earth’s surface.
UV-B

Positives
  Induces vitamin D production.
Negatives
  Overexposure
