Frequently Asked Questions about UV light:
1. What is UV light?
UV light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has wavelengths from 10-400 nanometers (nm).
2. What are the different types of UV Light?
●UVA light (320-400 nm) is UV light with the longest wavelength, and the least harmful. It is also called black light.
●UVB light (290-320 nm) is UV light with wavelengths between 290-320 nm. About 5% of all UV-B light reaches our planet's surface.
●UVC light (100-290 nm) is extremely harmful and is almost completely absorbed by the ozone layer. It is created artificially to kill microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold).
