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.
UV. 1. Of or relating to electromagnetic radiation between violet visible light and x-rays in the electromagnetic spectrum, having frequencies between 790 terahertz and 30 petahertz and wavelengths between 380 nanometers and 10 nanometers. 2. Of or relating to a light bulb that emits ultraviolet radiation.
