Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.

Which form of visible light has the shortest wavelength?
ultraviolet waves
Is visible light same as ultraviolet light?
No. Simple test: Can you see ultraviolet light ? No you cannot. Therefore it falls under the category of "not visible light".
Which radiation is the range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than violet on the visible spectrum?
-- ultraviolet -- X-rays -- gamma rays
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Are the frequencies of ultraviolet waves slightly higher than visible light?
Ultraviolet light extends for quite a ways up the electromagnetic spectrum after visible violet ends. Its frequencies are higher. Wavelengths from 400nm to 50nm covering 4 groups of UV.
What is next to ultraviolet in the light spectrum?
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Which form of visible light has the shortest wavelength?
ultraviolet waves
Can you feel ultra violet?
You cannot see or feel ultraviolet radiation waves.
Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
Where are ultra violet waves found?
Among other things, the light we get from the Sun includes ultraviolet light.
What waves do insects eyes adapted to?
Insects do well at the violet end of the spectrum, including ultraviolet. Many flowers have ultraviolet markings we cannot see, but pollinators can!
Which electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
Ultra violet light starts just above the visible violet.
What is the amplitude of ultraviolet waves?
Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.
How does the wavelength of infrared compare with the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Infra red have longer wavelength compared to ultra violet.
What waves are used to kill harmful bacteria?
hi ***************** At least UVC, which is 100-280 nm in wavelength. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet#Subtypes
