Ultraviolet Radiation

Ultraviolet Radiation is basically a form of radiant energy that comes from the sun. The various forms of energy, or radiation are classified according to wavelength, measured in nanometers (one nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter.)(Ozone Depletion page 2) The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation. In order of decreasing energy, the principal forms of radiation are gamma rays, X rays, UV (ultraviolet radiation), visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves (…
