 DID YOU KNOW?

X-rays have much higher energy and much

shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light, and
scientists usually refer to x-rays in terms of their
energy rather than their wavelength.
 SOURCE OF ULTRAVIOLET RAY

•Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of

non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun
and artificial sources, such as tanning beds.
 SOURCE OF X-RAY WAVES

•Can come from natural sources, such as radon

gas, radioactive elements in the earth,
and cosmic rays that hit the earth from outer
space.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ULTRAVIOLET RAY
•Has shorter wavelengths than visible light.

• This means that UV light has a higher

frequency than visible light.

• It is categorized as electromagnetic radiation

with wavelengths between 10 and 400
nanometers (nm).
CHARACTERISTICS OF X-RAY WAVES
•They have a shorter wavelength of the electromagnetic
spectrum. Requires high voltage to produce X-Rays.

•They are used to capture the human skeleton defects.

•They travel in a straight line and do not carry an electric charge

with them.

•They are capable of travelling in a vacuum.

 Difference between
ultraviolet ray and x-ray waves

• x ray it can both benefical & dangerous biological

effects. This ionizing radiation penetrate the living tissues
can destroy living cells, chromosomal aberrations and
carcinogenic effect. uv ray exposure to uv rays can
cause premature aging of the skins and signs of sun
damage such as wrickles.
WAVELENGTH, FREQUENCY AND ENERGY
OF ULTRAVIOLET RAY

•Ultraviolet radiation is a type of electromagnetic

radiation with a frequency from 30 PHz to 750 THz
and a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm.
WAVELENGTH, FREQUENCY AND ENERGY OF
X-RAY WAVES

•X-rays have wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10

nanometers, frequency ranging from 30 petahertz
to 30 exahertz (31016 Hz to 31019 Hz), and
energy ranging from 100 eV to 100 keV.
 BENEFIT OF ULTRAVIOLET RAY

•Beneficial effects of UV radiation include the

production of vitamin D, a vitamin essential to
human health. Vitamin D helps the body to
absorb calcium and phosphorus from food and
assists in bone development.
 BENEFITS OF X-RAY WAVES

•Noninvasively and painlessly help to diagnose disease

and monitor therapy.

•Support medical and surgical treatment planning.

•Guide medical personnel as they insert catheters,

stents, or other devices inside the body, treat tumors,
or remove blood clots or other blockages.
