Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays. It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the color violet.
UV light is typically found as part of the radiation received by the Earth from the Sun. Most humans are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn. The UV spectrum has many other effects, including both beneficial and damaging changes to human health.
Bees can see ultraviolet rays.
Johann Wilhelm Ritter discovered ultraviolet rays
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
Wavelengths just higher than ultraviolet rays are called X-rays. X-rays have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet rays cannot be seen or felt. Ever had a sun-burn? I say UV rays can be felt.
This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.

It is important to protect your skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun by wearing sunscreen.
Yes, gamma rays have a higher frequency than ultraviolet rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. Ultraviolet rays have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to gamma rays.
