Preferred Label : ultraviolet;
IUPAC acronym : UV-B; UV-C; CIE; UV; -A; VUV;
IUPAC definition : Region of the electromagnetic spectrum extending from about 100 nm to 400 nm. This
region is divided into four sub-bands as follows: table tr td Vacuum Ultraviolet
(VUV) /td td 100-200 nm /td /tr tr td UV-C /td td 200-280 nm /td /tr
tr td UV-B /td td 280-315 nm /td /tr tr td UV-A /td td 315-400 nm. /td /tr
/table ;
Scope note : the notation and the limits of the various regions are as recommended by the international
commission on illumination (cie), with the exception that in these recommendations
the uv-c range is100nm–280nm, including thus the vacuum uv range.;
