Here's a breakdown:
* 0.1 µm: This is the shortest wavelength of shortwave radiation, typically associated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
* 3 µm: This is the longest wavelength of shortwave radiation, representing the boundary with the longer wavelengths of infrared radiation.
Keep in mind:
* Shortwave radiation is the energy from the sun that reaches the Earth.
* Longwave radiation is the energy that the Earth emits back into space.
* The specific wavelengths within the shortwave radiation range can be further categorized as:
* Ultraviolet (UV): 0.1 to 0.4 µm
* Visible: 0.4 to 0.7 µm
* Near-infrared (NIR): 0.7 to 3 µm
It's important to remember that these are approximate ranges, and the specific wavelengths emitted by the sun can vary depending on factors like solar activity.
