    100nm-280nm

    Explanation:

    Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

    According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

    UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

    UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

    UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

    Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.
