  • If the wavelengths corresponding to ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiations are given as λUV, λVIS and λIR respectively, then λUV < λVIS < λIR  is the correct relationship among these wavelengths.
  • UV rays are electromagnetic radiations which are shorter than the visible light and have a wavelength between 10-400 nm.
  • Infrared rays are those electromagnetic radiations which have a wavelength between 700 nm-1 mm. These are longer than the visible light.
