What health effect is associated with short wavelengths, such as UV-C radiation?

  1. Thermal skin burns

  2. Cataracts of lens

  3. Corneal injuries

  4. Electrostimulation

The correct answer is: Corneal injuries

UV-C radiation is a type of ultraviolet radiation with short wavelengths. This type of radiation is associated with causing damage to the cornea in the eye, which can lead to corneal injuries. Thermal skin burns and cataracts of lens can also be caused by UV-C radiation, but they are not specifically associated with short wavelengths. Electrostimulation is not a known health effect of UV-C radiation.
