Ultraviolet light is not visible. Many ultraviolet lamps also emit some visible light along with the ultraviolet, typically visible violet. Also, ultraviolet light is an ionizing radiation, and will cause some flourescent materials to emit various visible wavelengths of light.
What else can I help you with?
Can you see ultraviolet waves?
No you cannot. An example of those waves would be those released by the sun and you cannot see those.
What electromagnetic waves can humans not see?
Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.
What are ultraviolet waves?
Ultraviolet waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light. They are emitted by the sun and have higher energy levels than visible light, which can cause sunburn and skin damage with overexposure. Ultraviolet waves are also used in various applications such as sterilization and fluorescent lighting.
How do you use ultraviolet waves in a sentence?
You may experience sunburned skin if you allow your skin to be exposed to the ultraviolet waves that penetrate the clouds on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet waves are at the opposite end of the visible light spectrum from infrared waves. Ultraviolet (UV) waves are longer than X-rays.
Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
What birds can see ultraviolet waves?
crows and mocking birds
Can you see ultraviolet waves?
No you cannot. An example of those waves would be those released by the sun and you cannot see those.
What kind of waves can a honey bee see but a human cannot?
Ultraviolet.
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
Can you feel ultra violet?
You cannot see or feel ultraviolet radiation waves.
What electromagnetic waves can humans not see?
Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
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.
What are ultraviolet waves?

4 animals that can see wave not visible?
Birds & bees (ultraviolet light waves), snakes (heat waves) and I don't know a 4th.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
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!
