It's detected by means of a camera that is sensitive to infra-red light. Visible light forms only a tiny portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Does ultraviolet rays in electro magnetic radiation causing certain substances to fluoreste?
Yes. The cool thing about this phenomena is that you can't see ultraviolet light, but it often causes EM radiation in the visible spectra, so it's kind of like the visible from the invisible...spooky.
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.
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.
Compared to visible light ultraviolet radiation is more harmful to human skin and eyes because ultraviolet radiation has a?
higher frequency... resonance with DNA
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
Is ultraviolet radiation visible or invisible?
By definition, ultra-violet light is outside the visible spectrum of EM radiation. Thus it is defined as invisible.
Definition of fluorescence?
The visible or invisible radiation emitted by certain substances as a result of incident radiation of a shorter wavelength such as X-rays or ultraviolet light.

Is visible light a type of ultraviolet radiation?
No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
Is fire the cause by another kind of invisible radiant energy know as ultraviolet?
Fire can be caused by any concentration of heat, in flammable materials. The cause can include visible or invisible radiation.
What do visible and invisible energy compose?
Visible and invisible energy compose dark energy or radiation. Radiation is composed of both visible and invisible light or energy that expands or spreads as it moves away from its source.
What are the three radiation that comes from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?
An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.
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.
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see is called ultraviolet light?
No, the visible part is called visible light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the human eye.
Is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
No, the visible part is called visible light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the human eye.
