Ultraviolet Waves
EM Waves
Ultravioelt Wave Uses
- UV waves are used to kill bacteria and viruses.
- They are used to steralize water, air,and equipment.
- UV waves are used to make black light.
- Experts can learn about different stars and galaxies by analyzing the UV rays given off.
Frequency and Wavelength
Frequency: 10 (to the 15th) - 10 (to the 17th) Hz
Wavelengths: 400nm-1nm
The Xenex Robot
- The Xenex Robot was created by Julie Stachowiak and Mark Stibich in early 2009.
- This new technology is being used in over 250 hospitals across the US. It is used to deactivate bacteria and viruses by using just UV light!
- It creates UV light by using eco-friendly green xenon gas.
- This machine can also deactivate EBOLA!!! Ebola is susceptible to UV light therefore the Xenex robot can deactivate this disease in under 2 minutes!
This video talks about amny different ways the xenex robot can be used, including its fight against ebola!
