What are the three types of UV rays and their effects?
The UV rays are of three types. they are UV-A, UV-B, UV-C.
Does Oxygen molecules stop UV radiation or is it only Ozone molecules that can?
UV is commonly broken up into three rough groupings called UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Oxygen and nitrogen absorb UV-C and break apart. Some of the oxygen forms ozone. Ozone absorbs UV-C and some UV-B and breaks apart. Ozone also absorbs UV-B and reradiates it randomly. UV-A (the sutff good for tanning) is pretty much just passed thru to the surface of the Earth. So some UV is blocked by oxygen (UV-C), just not any of UV-B, which directly strikes our DNA since we are largely transparent to UV-B and DNA is not.
Is uva radiation the lowest?
UV-A contains the least radiation (or energy) and is therefore, the least harmful. UV-C contains the most amount of energy and is the most harmful.
What do the ozone layer absorb?
UV-B and more energetic radiation. In doing so, it breaks down into its components, something like: O3 + energetic light -> O + O2 Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in the air, produces mostly hot oxygen. Ozone and UV-A produces ozone, and the UV-A just moves on. Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in water produce one of the most powerful oxidizing systems available (better is to add some TiO2 slurry), and is referred to as "Advanced Oxidation".
Does earth's atmosphere block all uv radiation from space?
No, Earth's atmosphere does not block all UV radiation from space. It does absorb a portion of the UV radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-C rays. However, UV-A and UV-B rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere to some extent and reach the Earth's surface.
Which is the most harmful UVB or UVC?
UV-B and UV-C are filtered by the ozone layer present in the atmosphere and only UV-A reaches to the earth which cause the various skin infection. if we talk about the frequency of the UV-B and UV-C the because of the higher frequency the UV-C is more harmful. UV with the wavelength of 253.7 nm is used for its germicidal activity.
What is the frequency opf UV?
UV has a wavelenght of 400nm and less you can calculate the frequency with this formula V (frequency) = c (speed of light) / λ (wavelenght)
What are the three types of UV rays and their effects?
The UV rays are of three types. they are UV-A, UV-B, UV-C.
Which string has the lowest frequency?
On the violin the G string, which is the G under middle C, has the lowest frequency (196Hz).

What is the wavelength of UV light in laminar air flow bench?
UV light iddivided in to three. UV-C wave length from 100nm to 280nm. UV-B 280nm to 315nm and UV-A 315nm to 400nm. The wave length of 254nm (UV-C) is giving maximum germicidal activity and it is not too irritating.
Class A AB B or C which amplifer has lowest efficiency?
Class A is Lowest Efficiency
What are the notes from lowest to highest on a flute?
B c d e f g a b c d
In an orchestra which instrument plays the lowest notes?
In a string orchestra, the instrument with the lowest pitch is the Bass (also called Double Bass, String Bass, Upright Bass, and Contrabass)

What allotrope of oxygen absorbs UV rays?
There are two: # oxygen, O2, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, # ozone, O3, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation.
