Infrared light ( IR ) - Answer- Is invisible and thermal
Infrared energy - Answer- Felt as heat on the skin and can be captured in thermal imaging
Longest wavelength visible light - Answer- Red
Shortest wavelength viable light - Answer- Violet
Some laser hair removal devices are in the red light and some are in the near infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum - Answer- Ultraviolet light - Answer- Highly energetic with shorter wavelengths than visible light
UVA rays - Answer- 95% of UV radiation that reaches the earth
UVA rays - Answer- Penetrate the skin more deeply and are dominate tanning rays. Cause photo aging and skin cancer
UVB rays - Answer- Cause skin burns and effect the epidermis. Also cause cancer and photo aging
UVC RAYS - Answer- Rays are absorbed by the ozone layer and don't reach the earth
