Yes, the voltage and frequency of the supply is the same, but you will need an adaptor to be able to plug it in. Get one from a travel shop in the UK. Another way that I use is to buy a French plug and fit it to a UK extension socket, you can then have up to four UK appliances on at the same time, which can be useful if you have a mobile phone, a computer, a shaver, a camera, etc. But don't do this unless you are confident about making electrical connections, the French plugs are a bit tricky inside.

Yes, you can use the same light throughout Europe, but the UK has special plugs and sockets. In Europe the voltage is 230v while in UK the voltage is nominally 230 v but in reality 240 v.

What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?

Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
