Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is electromagnetic energy between visible rays and X-rays, with wavelengths from 10 nm to 400 nm, and can cause sunburn and tanning. It has various physiological effects, including carcinogenesis, erythema, pigmentation, and vitamin D production, but also poses risks such as eye damage and accelerated aging. UV radiation is used in treatments for conditions like wounds, acne, and psoriasis, but precautions must be taken to avoid overdose and protect sensitive areas.
