No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.
Yes, UV light and UV rays refer to the same thing - ultraviolet radiation. UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye. UV light or UV rays are terms used to describe this form of radiation.
UV light is a component of sunlight, but sunlight also contains other types of light. UV light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.
UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.
No, the visible light region is between Infra-red and UV.
Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
UV has a HIGHER frequency than visible light. If you get such results, either you are not measuring the correct light, or something else is wrong with the measurement.
The only difference, between ultra violate light and visible light, is their frequencies, UV has higher frequency than visible and since wavelength x frequency = the speed of light (which is constant at 3x108 ms-1), therefore wavelength is higher in UV. UV light is also not visible, unlike visible light! so, in summery the difference is frequency and wave length.
UV (ultra violet) light
UV tubes contain a phosphor coating that absorbs UV radiation and re-emits it as visible light, giving off a blue glow. This visible light is what we see, even though the UV radiation itself is not visible to the human eye.
There is no substance that can directly convert visible light to UV because the energy required to promote electrons from the visible light energy levels to the UV energy levels is too high within a single step. The energy levels of the electrons in UV are simply too far apart from those in visible light for a direct conversion to occur.
