The first thing that comes into our mind when we think of summer, is the sun. The sun is just not a source of light and life, but these rays also have some negative effects in the form of UV Rays. These rays are the causes of certain skin conditions that sometimes get too harmful to the extent of generating skin cancer. This article will help you understand the effects of UV rays and what precautions you need to take to keep yourself safe from them. The Sun’s radiation transmitted in the form of waves or particles at distinct frequencies and wavelengths is known as the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation is an outcome of this spectrum. This spectrum is divided into seven different regions in the order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelengths. The standard designations of these regions are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared (IR), Visible Light, Ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma-rays.
