What is UV radiation?
It is defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light with a wavelength range of 40–400 nanometers.
What are UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays?
As per ISO 21348, it can be subdivided into three types which are as follows:
UV-A (Soft UV, long wave) – 315-400 nm
UV-B (Intermediate UV, medium wave UV) – 280-315 nm
UV-C (hard UV, Short wave UV) – 200-280 nm
Of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface, more than 95% is the longer wavelengths of UV-A, with the small remainder UV-B. Almost no UV-C reaches the Earth’s surface.
