No. By definition, "ultraviolet" is that which is beyond the visible light - more specifically, beyond the violet part of visible light.

Why can wavelengths of light be seen by humans?
Our eyes can detect them.
What are problems with Ultraviolet rays?
Problems with ultraviolet light mainly affect the skin and eyes. It can cause premature aging of the skin, skin cancer and sunburn. It can damage the eyes in several ways. It can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, blindness and cancer of the eye.
Why cant humans detect infrared light?
They can. While human eyes can not "see" infrared light, humans can detect this light as "heat" on the surface of the skin.
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.
Are ultraviolet rays violet in color?
Our eyes can't see ultraviolet light, so it has no color. The highest frequency our eyes can see is violet, and ultraviolet is above that frequency. The name ultraviolet just means "above violet."
How do you see ultraviolet light?
Humans do not see ultraviolet light, but there are some who can who have had to have replacements in their eyes, which altered their vision so that they can.
What is the only electromagnetic spectrum that humans perceive with their eyes?
The wavelengths which comprise visible light.
Order of length of the visible spectrum?
The visible light spectrum is the only part of the spectrum that we can perceive with our eyes. It is commonly considered to be the 400nm -700 nm region. It lies between ultraviolet and Infrared region of the light spectrum.
What color do you perceive when your eyes detect no light?
Black
Can humans see visible light?
Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. It can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most ultraviolet is classified as non-ionizing radiation.
How does blue light compare with ultraviolet light?
The blue light has longer wavelength, lower frequency, andless energy per photon than the ultraviolet light has.The blue light is also visible to the human eyes, whereas theultraviolet light is not.
Why do eyes need color?
Originally, everyone had brown eyes, which are caused by melanin in the eye. The melanin protects the eyes from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light.
Compared to visible light ultraviolet radiation is more harmful to human skin and eyes because ultraviolet radiation has a?
higher frequency... resonance with DNA
Why are the wavelenghts not visable?
Because there are no receptor cells in our eyes that are capable of receiving infrared or ultraviolet light.
Are we humans not able to see light from sun clear because of its brightness or the wavelengths?
We have NO TROUBLE at all seeing visible light wavelengths from the sun.We cannot see the radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray "light" from the sun because our eyes are not sensitive to these wavelengths.
Why do eyes see the color red?
You perceive the electromagnetic waves from visible spectrum or light rays. When the light rays of higher wavelength enters your eyes, you see the red color.
What is the first color made?
You do not make colors, they are what your eyes and mind perceive when light bounces off an object.
