The range of wavelength for ultraviolet is from ______ to _____.

Asked in GUJCET 2020 · Ranges, production and detection

Answer: (4) 400 nm to 1.0 nm

Step-by-step solution

Idea: ultraviolet begins where the eye gives up, just beyond violet, and ends where X-rays begin.

Violet light reaches down to about 400 nm, so that is the long-wavelength edge of the ultraviolet band.

From there it runs down to about 1.0 nm; below that the radiation is called X-rays.

So ultraviolet covers 400 nm to 1.0 nm.

Why the other options are wrong
