Question

arrange the following types of uv radiation from most to least energetic. uv-e, uv-a, uv-b uv-b, uv-c, uv-a uv-c, uv-b, uv-a uv-e, uv-f, uv-d

Explanation:

To determine the energy of UV radiation, we use the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy (\(E = h
u=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\), where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck’s constant, \(
u\) is frequency, \(c\) is the speed of light, and \(\lambda\) is wavelength). Shorter wavelength means higher frequency and higher energy. The typical wavelengths (and energy order) for UV radiation are: UV - C (shortest wavelength, most energetic), UV - B (medium), UV - A (longest wavelength, least energetic). So the order from most to least energetic is UV - C, UV - B, UV - A.

Answer:

C. UV - C, UV - B, UV - A
