    The electromagnetic radiation known as ultraviolet (UV) light has a wavelength that is shorter than that of visible light but longer than that of soft X-rays. It was given that name because the electromagnetic waves that make up the spectrum have frequencies higher than those that humans associate with the colour violet (purple).
