* UV light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which spans from very low-frequency radio waves to very high-frequency gamma rays.
* UV light falls between visible light and X-rays.
* The frequency range of UV light is roughly 8 × 10^14 to 3 × 10^16 Hz.
To be more specific, UV light is further divided into three sub-bands:
* UV-A: 7.5 × 10^14 to 3 × 10^15 Hz (315-400 nm wavelength)
* UV-B: 3 × 10^15 to 8 × 10^15 Hz (280-315 nm wavelength)
* UV-C: 8 × 10^15 to 3 × 10^16 Hz (100-280 nm wavelength)
Remember:
* Higher frequency means higher energy. So, UV-C light has the highest energy and is the most harmful, while UV-A has the lowest energy.
* Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. This means that higher frequency corresponds to shorter wavelength, and vice versa.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
