2. Ultraviolet​For alternative meanings, see ultraviolet (disambiguation), UV (disambiguation) and UVB-76 radio station. Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3 eV to 124 eV. It is named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the colour violet.
