Lightning contains gamma rays. Based on the position of gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum, does lightning have more or less energy than a radio? O Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a longer wavelength. Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength. O Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a longer wavelength.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that reaches the Earth from the Sun. It has wave-lengths shorter than those of visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, or UVC, with UVA the longest of the three at 320 nm to 400 nm. Both the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization have identified UV as a proven human carcinogen. Many experts believe that, especially for fair-skinned people, UV radiation frequently plays a key role in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, which kills more than 8000 Americans each year. UVB has a wave-length between 280 nm and 320 nm. Determine the frequency ranges of UVA and UVB.
