Studies have shown that congenital amusia is a deficit in fine-grained pitch discrimination and that 4% of the population suffers from this disorder.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is light with higher frequency (lower wavelength) than visible light. UV light has frequencies ranging from 8*1014 to 3*1016 Hz (800 THz to 30 PHz) and wavelengths from 10-8 m to 3.8*10-7 m (10 nm to 380 nm). Prolonged exposure to UV light causes sunburn and can cause skin cancer.
Gary Zeman, ScD, CHP. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is defined as that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between x rays and visible light, i.e., between 40 and 400 nm (30â3 eV). The UV spectrum is divided into Vacuum UV (40-190 nm), Far UV (190-220 nm), UVC (220-290 nm), UVB (290-320), and UVA (320-400 nm). The sun is our primary natural source of UV radiation.
