  "term": "Ultraviolet",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays, typically ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm. It is divided into several sub-regions, including UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, based on wavelength. Ultraviolet radiation is responsible for sunburn and can cause damage to biological tissues, but it also has applications in sterilization, curing, and analytical chemistry.",
