What Does VUV Stand For?
VUV stands for Vacuum Ultraviolet
VUV, or Vacuum Ultraviolet, refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between approximately 10 and 200 nanometers. This range is notable for its significant absorption by various materials, including air, which necessitates the use of a vacuum environment for effective experimentation and applications. VUV light is utilized in various fields such as astrophysics, materials science, and photochemistry, playing a critical role in processes such as spectroscopy, surface analysis, and semiconductor manufacturing.
