Q

What are light waves

A

Moving electric and magnetic fields vibrating at 90 degrees to each other at the speed of light- energy from these electromagnetic fields makes the wave move

Q

Why is UV spectrum broad

A

Photons with slight difference in energy can still cause electronic transitions by exciting elections from the many vibrational states that corresponds to its energy
