Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that reaches the Earth from the Sun. It has wavelengths shorter than those of visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, or UVC, with UVA the longest of the three at 315 nm to 400 nm. Both the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization have identified UV as a proven human carcinogen. Many experts believe that, especially for fair-skinned people, UV radiation frequently plays a key role in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, which kills more than 8000 Americans each year. UVB has a wavelength between 280 nm and 315 nm. Determine the frequency ranges of UVA and UVB.
