Question

have you ever had a sun tan or a sunburn? if you have, then youve experienced ultraviole waves, also known as uv waves. they are a type of electromagnetic wave. we cannot see uv waves, but they are all around us. uv waves can be used to dry gel nail polish and destroy bacteria. they can also cause skin damage. this model shows different types of electromagnetic waves. the electromagnetic spectrum visible light wavelength (m) 10 1 10^-1 10^-2 10^-3 10^-4 10^-5 10^-6 10^-7 10^-8 10^-9 10^-10 10^-11 10^-12 radio microwave infrared ultraviolet x - ray gamma 10^7 10^8 10^9 10^10 10^11 10^12 10^13 10^14 10^15 10^16 10^17 10^18 10^19 10^20 frequency (hz) complete the sentence. compared to visible light waves, ultraviolet waves have wavelengths, have frequencies, and carry energy.

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet (UV) waves have shorter wavelengths than visible light. According to the wave - frequency - energy relationship ($E = hf=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$, where $E$ is energy, $h$ is Planck's constant, $f$ is frequency, $c$ is the speed of light, and $\lambda$ is wavelength), shorter wavelengths mean higher frequencies and more energy.

Answer:

shorter; higher; more
