  • The main difference between UV-A and UV-B rays lies in their wavelength, penetration depth, and biological effects:

    Wavelength: UV-A: 320–400 nanometers (longer wavelength) and UV-B: 280–320 nanometers (shorter wavelength)

    Penetration: UV-A penetrates deeper into the skin, reaching the dermis. It's responsible for skin aging and wrinkling. UV-B primarily affects the outer skin layers (epidermis). It causes sunburn and can directly damage DNA, contributing to skin cancer.

    Proportion in Sunlight: UV-A makes up about 95% of the UV radiation reaching the Earth. UV-B accounts for around 5%, but is more intense and biologically active.

    Protection: Sunscreens and sunglasses usually specify whether they offer broad-spectrum protection, which means they block both UV-A and UV-B.
