Help  HELP ? 	Ultraviolet rays, which cause sun burn by penetrating only the top level of skin, have a wavelength about 1000 times the wavelength of an X-ray.  Find the wavelength of ultraviolet rays.  Show your work.  (Hint:  What is 1000 times  in scientific notation?)  2 POINTS

jamesj · Answer

Ok, so what value for the wavelength of X-rays have you been given?

jamesj · Answer

because by the logic of the question, the wave length of UV light will be $ 10^3 $ times longer.

anonymous · Answer

wavelength is 10^-10

jamesj · Answer

In that case, the wavelength of UV light is
$$ 10^{-10} \times 10^3 \ m $$
can you simplify that?
