Energy that is emitted in the form of
electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 1-380nm, which is composed of
UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C light; UV-A light being the longest wavelength and
having the smallest energy and UV-C light being the shortest wavelength
and having the highest energy. All UV-C light and most UV-B light is
filtered out of the atmosphere via the ozone layer. However, UV-A light
travels to the surface of the earth.
