What does ultraviolet mean?
On the light spectrum, beyond violet.
Where is the uv rays located on the spectrum?
just beyond violet in the visible light section of the em spectrum
What color in the color spectrum penetrates the deepest?
Violet because in the color spectrum it goes from weakest to strongest, starting from red all the way to violet, so violet penetrates the deepest. No it is red light. violet light in absorbed and/or reflected more than red light
What are the colours in the visible spectrum of light?
The colors in the visible spectrum of light are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Does violet have the longest wavelength?
No. In the visible light spectrum it has the shortest
What does ultraviolet mean?
On the light spectrum, beyond violet.
Where is the uv rays located on the spectrum?
just beyond violet in the visible light section of the em spectrum
What is a mixture of white light?
All spectrum of visible light, and a bit of the invisible parts from each sides (red and violet).
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.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
What are ultra violet rays?
White light, like sunlight, is made up of many different colors of light. We see this when raindrops split the light into a rainbow. The purple part of a rainbow is violet light. Some parts of the light spectrum are not visible to the human eye. The invisible part next to purple (violet) is called the ultraviolet spectrum.
What colors are beyond the ends of the rainbow?
A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
Why is the human eye unable to see ultraviolet light?
You should look at it the other way round. The word 'ultra' means 'beyond', so you have the visible spectrum which ends at violet, then what is beyond is 'ultra violet'.
Which color of invisible light has the shortest wavelength?
The visible light of violet.
What color light has greater frequency than violet light?
Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light.
What colors does the invisible spectrum contain?
Infrared and ultraviolet are the invisible colors at the opposite ends of the light spectrum.
Are ultraviolet waves purple?
No, they are out of the visable spectrum so they do not have a colour.Ultra means above or beyond. So ultraviolet is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation that has energy beyond violet light.
