  1. ultraviolet radiation

    Ultraviolet radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths ranging from 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers, that is shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays. It is named because its spectrum lies just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. Despite not being visible to the human eye, it can cause chemical reactions and biological effects such as sunburn or producing vitamin D in the human body. It is emitted by the Sun and other sources like tanning lamps and black lights.
