Shortwave radiation SW is a term used to describe radiant energy with wavelengths in the Optical spectrum visible VIS , near ultraviolet radiation ultraviolet UV , and near infrared NIR spectra. There is no standard cut off for the near infrared range therefore, the shortwave radiation range is also variously defined. It may be broadly defined to include all radiation with a wavelength between 0.1 micrometre m and 5.0 m or narrowly defined so as to include only radiation between 0.2 m and 3.0 m. There is little radiation flux in terms of W m to the Earth s surface below 0.2 m or above 3.0 m, although photon flux remains significant as far as 6.0 m, compared to shorter wavelength fluxes. UV C radiation spans from 0.1 m to .28 m, UV B from 0.28 m to 0.315 m, UV A from 0.315 m to 0.4 m, the visible spectrum from 0.4 m to 0.7 m, and near infrared NIR arguably from 0.7 m to 5.0 m, beyond which the infrared is thermal. ref However, the definition of thermal infrared may start at wavelengths as short as 1.1 m longer than which optical instruments have difficulty measuring or anywhere between 2.0 m and 4.0 m, depending on the method of measurement and its purpose. ref Shortwave radiation is distinguished from longwave radiation .
