Los límites del dominio espectral de la radiación ultravioleta son imprecisos y pueden variar según los usuarios. Entre 100 y 400 nm, el Comité E-2.1.2 de la CEI [Comisión Electrotécnica Internacional] distingue: UV-A: 315-400 nm; UV-B: 280-315 nm; UV-C: 100-280 nm (CEI/70 45-05-035). 8, record 1, Spanish, - radiaci%C3%B3n%20ultravioleta

Según la Real Academia Española, lo más adecuado es hacer concordar el adjetivo con el sustantivo al que acompaña (rayos ultravioletas). No obstante, el adjetivo "ultravioleta" se emplea a menudo como invariable, usado en aposición al sustantivo (rayos ultravioleta). 9, record 1, Spanish, - radiaci%C3%B3n%20ultravioleta

Los rayos solares, conocidos también como rayos ultravioletas (UV) son invisibles al ojo humano y se clasifican de acuerdo a su longitud de onda, que es medida en nanómetros (nm). [...] Se dividen en tres tipos: Los UVC, [...] los UVB [...] ylos UVA que comprenden la radiación solar menos nociva. La longitud de esta onda se encuentra entre los 320 y 400 nm y la mayoría de estos rayos llega a la superficie terrestre. 3, record 2, Spanish, - rayos%20ultravioleta%20de%20tipo%20A
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Se recomienda escribir en minúscula rayos uva, mejor que rayos UVA. [...] Aunque el Diccionario académico no recoge aún este término, se trata de un acrónimo sobradamente extendido, como sida, radar o ere, por lo que resulta aconsejable lexicalizarlo y escribirlo en minúscula. [...] Respecto al plural, como se ve, se aconseja escribir los rayos uva (o los uva), no los rayos uvas (ni los uvas), igual que rayos gamma, no rayos gammas, tal como recoge el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española. Si se emplea la forma extensa, se prefiere el singular rayos ultravioleta al plural rayos ultravioletas. 1, record 2, Spanish, - rayos%20ultravioleta%20de%20tipo%20A
