What is the difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound?
The difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound is how they react when inside the body. Ultraviolet radiation attacks the cells and destroys cells that are harmful to the body. Ultrasound is merely a viewing device. Ultrasound is used to detect abnormalities in the body.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
What energy is ultraviolet rays?
Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.
Which type of radiation can be used to sterilize medical equipment?
Ultraviolet radiation
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
What molecule acts as a shield to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is?
Molecules act as a shield to ultraviolet rays. These molecules are ozone.
Does the ozone layer act like a shield to protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Yes it does. It acts as a shield.

What are skin the adaptation that make it an effecient human shield?
Melanin, why ? Because melanin acts as a protective biological shield against ultraviolet radiation.
Why might you call the ozone layer a space shield?
Since ultraviolet radiation from the sun does have to travel through outer space in order to reach the Earth, you could say that it comes from space, and therefore the ozone layer which protects against solar ultraviolet radiation is a kind of space shield.
What electromagnetic radiation are used for n security pen?
Ultraviolet Radiation.
What is an ozone shield?
Stratospheric ozone layer, giving protection to the Earth's surface due to intense absorption of harmful solar ultraviolet radiation by the gas.
What are the skin adaptations that make it an efficient human shield?
That question is also asked in our take home test at biology. :) Melanin, why ? Because melanin acts as a protective biological shield against ultraviolet radiation.
Which country has ultraviolet radiation?
At present, Australia is said to receive high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
Is visible light a type of ultraviolet radiation?
No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
