The wavelengths of visible light are between 3.8x10^-7 and 7.6x10^-7. Are these wavelengths longer or shorter than those ultraviolet rays?
(ultraviolet rays: 10^-10 x 1000)

Answer 1

The wavelengths of ultraviolet rays is shorter than the wavelengths of visible light

Explanation:

we have

the wavelengths of ultraviolet rays is
`1000*10^(-10)`

Remember that

`1000*10^(-10)=1*10^(3)*10^(-10)=1*10^(-7)`

Compare with the minimum value of the wavelengths of visible light

`1*10^(-7)< 3.8*10^(-7)`

therefore

The wavelengths of ultraviolet rays is shorter than the wavelengths of visible light
