360nm

360nm refers to a wavelength of light. Specifically, it is 360 nanometers, which falls within the ultraviolet (UV) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye and has wavelengths shorter than visible light, typically ranging from 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers.

Within the UV spectrum, 360nm is often associated with a specific type of ultraviolet radiation known as UVA. UVA light has longer wavelengths within the UV range and is known for its ability to penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB radiation. While it is less energetic than UVB, prolonged exposure to UVA can still contribute to skin aging, wrinkling, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

The 360nm wavelength is also significant in various scientific and industrial applications. It is commonly used in fluorescence applications, where it can excite certain materials, causing them to emit light at longer, visible wavelengths. This principle is utilized in applications such as fluorescent microscopy, forensic analysis, and counterfeit detection of currency or documents. Furthermore, 360nm light is employed in curing processes for certain resins and inks, as well as in some sterilization techniques.
