Does the process of photoconduction only occur in the visible light spectrum?

No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.


Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?

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.


Is UV light the same as sunlight?

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.


Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?

UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.


Visible light fits between x-rays and uv?

No, the visible light region is between Infra-red and UV.


What color are UV rays?

Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.


Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?

Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.


If you compared the frequencies of UV light an visible light you and rsquod find that the UV light had a smaller frequency.?

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.


How do you make a distinguish between UV and VIS?

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.


Which form of visible light is harmful?

UV (ultra violet) light


Why do UV tubes glow blue even though UV radiation is invisible to the human eye?

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.


Why is there no substance that convert visible light to UV?

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.
