Which of the following is correct about ultraviolet radiation (UV)? Ultraviolet A (UVA) has a shorter wavelength than Ultraviolet B (UVB). Ultraviolet B (UVB) penetrates less deeply but causes more damage than Ultraviolet A (UVA). Tanning booths use mostly Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. All exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is bad and must be avoided at all costs.
