| ultraviolet | has frequency 750 THz to 30 PHz |  |
| has wavelength 10 to 400 nm | |
| has acronym UV | |
| has definition Part of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately above visible light (but below gamma-rays and X-rays); it therefore comprises a range of radiation of shorter wavelength and higher frequency than those of visible light. | |
| has definition Electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength slightly shorter than that of visible light. | |
