C SPECTRUM?
The electromagnetic(EM) spectrum is continumm
of electromagnetic waves arranged according to
frequency and wavelength.it is ranges of
frequency of electromagnetic radiation and their
respective wave lengths and photons energies.it
is gradual progession from the  waves of lowest
frequencies to the waves of highest frequencies. 
                                                                              
                                             According to
increasing freaquency,the EM spectrum
includes:radio waves,microwaves, infrared,
visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma
rays.these waves do not have exact dividing
regions.                                                                         
                                                            The difference
types of electromagnetic waves are defined by
the amount of energy carried by/possessed by
the photons.Photons are bundle of energy.
 WHAT ARE 3 FACTS ABOUT
ULTRAVIOLET?
• About ultraviolet (UV) Radiation and Sun Exposure                                   
                                                                                                                             
The atmosphere does little to shield these rays-most UVA radiation
reaches Earth's surface.                                                                                 
                                                                                                                           
UVA  rays cause skin aging and eye damage,and can lower your body's
ability to fight off illness. UVA rays also contribute to the risk of skin
cancer.
ULTRA VIOLET

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is
aform of non-ionizing
radiation that emitted by the
sun and artificial
sources,such as tanning
beds.while it has some
benefits for
people,including the
creation of vitamin D, it also
can cause health risk. Our
natural source of UV
radiatiom: the sun
CHARACTERISTICS
• Ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter visible wavelenghts than visible light.
Although UV waves are visible to the human eye, some insects, such
as bumblebees, can see them. This is similar to how a dog can hear
the  the sound of a whistle just outside the hearing range of humans.
EVERY DAY USES
• UV  radiation is widely used in industrial processes and in medical and
dental practices for a variety of purposes, such as killing bacteria,
creating fluorescent effects, curing inks and resins, photherapy and
suntanning. Different UV wavelengths and intensities are used for
different purposes.
COLORS
• Purple and violet light have shorter wavelengths than other colors of
light, and ultraviolet has even shorter waves than violet does; so
ultraviolet is sort of "purpler-than-purple" light or "beyond violet"
light. Ultraviolet radiation lies between visible light and X-RAYS along
the electromagnetic spectrum
