refimprove date July 2008 merge UV completion date October 2010 In physics , an ultraviolet divergence is a situation in which an integral , for example a Feynman diagram , diverges because of contributions of objects with very high energy approaching infinity , or, equivalently, because of physical phenomena at very short distances. An infinite answer to a question that should have a finite answer is a potential problem. The ultraviolet UV divergences are often unphysical effects that can be removed by regularization physics regularization and renormalization . If they cannot be removed, they imply that the theory is not perturbative ly well defined at very short distances. The name comes from the earliest example of such a divergence, the ultraviolet catastrophe in understanding blackbody radiation . According to then current theory of radiation , in this case, light , the quantity of energy released at any specific wavelength should increase with decreasing wavelength that is, there should be considerably more ultraviolet light released from a blackbody radiator than infrared light . Measurements showed the opposite the most energy was released at wavelengths between the two extremes, which suggested classic mechanics simply didn t describe the phenomenon correctly. This problem led to the development of quantum mechanics . The success of the attack on the original ultraviolet catastrophe has led to the technique being widely applied in modern physics. A similar problem applying quantum field theory to electromagnetism was famously solved through the use of renormalization ... standard model of particle physics . Ultraviolet divergences remain a key process in the exploration of new physical theories, like supersymmetry . A successful attack on an ultraviolet divergence is known as ultraviolet completion .

Image blackbody lg.png thumb 303px The Ultraviolet catastrophe is the error at short wavelengths in the Rayleigh Jeans law depicted as classical theory in the graph for the energy emitted by an ideal black body. The error, much more pronounced for short wavelengths, is the difference between the black curve the wrong curve predicted by the Rayleigh Jeans law and the blue curve the correct curve predicted by Planck s law . The ultraviolet catastrophe , also called the Rayleigh Jeans catastrophe , was a prediction of late 19th century early 20th century classical physics that an ideal black body at thermodynamic equilibrium thermal equilibrium will emit radiation with infinite power. The term ultraviolet catastrophe was first used in 1911 by Paul Ehrenfest , although the concept goes back to 1900 with the first derivation of the math lambda 4 math dependence of the Rayleigh Jeans law the word ultraviolet refers to the fact that the problem appears in the short wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum . Since the first appearance of the term, it has also been used for other predictions of a similar nature, as in quantum electrodynamics and such cases as ultraviolet divergence . Problem The ultraviolet catastrophe results from the equipartition theorem of classical statistical mechanics which states that all harmonic oscillator modes degrees of freedom of a system at equilibrium have an average energy of math kT math .

Extreme ultraviolet radiation EUV or XUV is high energy ultraviolet radiation, generally defined to be electromagnetic radiation in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum spanning wavelength s from 120 nm down to 10 nm, and therefore by the Planck Einstein equation having photon s with energies from 10 Electron volt eV up to 124 eV corresponding to 124 nanometer nm to 10 nm respectively . EUV is naturally generated by the solar corona and artificially by plasma physics plasma and Synchrotron light source synchrotron light sources. Its main uses are photoelectron spectroscopy , Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope solar imaging , and EUVL lithography . In air , EUV is the most highly Absorption electromagnetic radiation absorbed component of the electromagnetic spectrum, requiring vacuum high vacuum for transmission. EUV generation Neutral atoms or condensed matter cannot emit EUV radiation. Ionization must take place first. EUV light can only be emitted by electrons which are bound to multicharged positive ions for example, to remove an electron from a 3 charged carbon ion three electrons already removed requires about 65 Electronvolt eV . ref http www.webelements.com webelements.com ref Such electrons are more tightly bound than typical valence electrons .

Refimprove date July 2011 The ultraviolet index or UV Index is an international standard measurement of the strength of the ultraviolet UV radiation from the sun at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public. Its purpose is to help people to effectively protect themselves from UV light, of which excessive exposure causes sunburn s, human eye eye damage such as cataract s, skin aging, and skin cancer see the section Ultraviolet Human health related effects of UV radiation health effects of ultraviolet light . Public health organizations recommend that people protect themselves for example, by applying sunscreen to the skin and wearing a hat when the UV index is 3 or higher see the table below for complete recommendations. Description The UV index is a linear scale, with higher values representing the risk level of skin damage due to UV exposure. An index of 0 corresponds to zero UV irradiation, as is essentially the case at nighttime. While an index of 10 corresponds roughly to midday sun and a clear sky, indices greater than 11 are quite common in the southern hemisphere where the ozone depletion Ozone layer is depleted . The numbers are related to the amount of UV radiation reaching the surface of the earth , measured in Watt W Square metre m sup 2 sup , but the relationship is not simple see below for definition because UV power is spread unevenly over a spectrum of wavelengths the shorter wavelengths are much more damaging. By weighting their effect the index aims to create a number that cannot be expressed in physical units, but is a good indication of likely skin damage. While the UV index can be calculated from a direct measurement of the UV spectral power at a given place, the value given in weather forecasts is usually a prediction based on a computer model.

Ultraviolet rays are present in sunlight and light from various artificial sources, and can cause sunburn or skin cancer . The color change alerts the wearer to the presence of the radiation. When the beads are not exposed to ultraviolet rays, they are colour less and either translucent or Opacity optics opaque . However, when sunlight falls onto the beads, an instant colour change occurs, turning them red, orange, yellow, blue, or purple. The beads are water fast and functionality is not decreased by time.
