Correct answer choice is :


A) More energy and shorter wavelengths


Explanation:


Ultraviolet is electromagnetic emission with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, less than that of apparent light but longer than X-rays. UV emission is being in sunlight forming about 10% of the total light amount of the Sun.UV rays can also harm the eyes as more than 99% of UV emission is consumed by the front of the eyes. Corneal loss, cataracts, and macular degeneration are all probable chronic outcomes from UV danger and can finally start to blindness. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, can also occur within the eye.

Answer:

A.) more energy and shorter wavelengths

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

Thus, UV rays has shorter wavelength and higher energy than the radio waves.
