Are you seeing ultraviolet rays when you see ultraviolet light?

no, because ultraviolet rays are just above seeing and with ultraviolet lights, you see a more violet color.

Can human see ultraviolet light?
No, the human cannot see ultraviolet rays with the naked eye.
What type of rays are produced from the sun or a black light?
A true "black light" should emit only ultraviolet radiation. Violet light waves have the highest frequency visible to a human eye. Ultraviolet has a higher frequency, and the human eye cannot detect it. When you buy a "black light" at the party store, in addition to the ultraviolet radiation, the bulb will usually give off violet light as well (analogous to a yellow light bulb looking a bit orange). You can see the violet light, but it's really the invisible, high energy ultraviolet light that provides all the "cool" effects.
Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?
Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.
Can you see ultraviolet light?
nope
Can human see ultraviolet light?
No, the human cannot see ultraviolet rays with the naked eye.
What animal see ultraviolet rays?
Bees can see ultraviolet rays.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Which animals detect ultraviolet light?
I now that bumblebees are able to see ultraviolet rays. I am not sure about any other animals or insects. I am also looking for more answers.
What are ultroviolent rays?
Ultraviolet rays are rays of light which are just beyond the visible spectrum for a human. These waves are shorter than the shortest waves possible for a human to see.
Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
What enzymes repair ultraviolet damage?
See webs: Enzymes and Ultraviolet Rays
Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)

What is an ultraviolet ray?
You cannot see ultraviolet rays, you can only see electromagnetic waves that are within the visible light spectrum; therefore it does not have a color. It is simply referred to as ultraviolet because its respective band on the EM spectrum lies above our visible violet frequencies.
