Solution
(i) Ultra-violet radiations can travel in vacuum as the visible light can do, with the speed 3 × 108 ms−1.
(ii) Both the ultra-violet radiations and the visible light are electromagnetic waves.
(iii) Both the ultra-violet radiations and the visible light obey the laws of reflection and refraction.
