It is a form of radiation undetectable by the human eye. The frequency for Ultraviolet waves is roughly 8*10^14 Hz with a wavelength that ranges anywhere from 10 to 400 nanometers, which is shorter than that of visible light, but longer than that of X-ray waves. Ultraviolet waves have an energy output of anywhere from 3-30 eV. Ultraviolet radiation is produced by the sun but is mostly absorbed by the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. It is used for a number of things including: skin tanning and treatment, disinfecting and germ control, and indoor gardening.]]> 2021-05-07 20:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jflewelling/8ap4tp3bwzd4c8da/wish/1504003528 Infrared Waves - Katie Jostes https://padlet.com/jflewelling/8ap4tp3bwzd4c8da/wish/1504565055 Infrared waves are toward the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum.
