The harmful effects of radiation from nuclear bombing.
In the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet radiation is located immediately beyond the violet, or short-wavelength, end of the visible light range.12
While visible light consists of wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 nanometers (at the violet end) to 700 nanometers (at the red end), ultraviolet radiation occupies the region of shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies that extends from the violet limit toward the X-ray region. Because it possesses shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, ultraviolet radiation is capable of ionizing atoms and molecules, a property that distinguishes it from the lower-frequency visible spectrum.1324
