No, it doesn't. IR is different from UV.


What is the difference between a UV light bulb and a black light?

A black light is a UV emitting bulb. There are other types of UV bulbs, but most have very specific uses, such as: bug lights, tanning bed lamps, drying lamps for lithographic applications and printing, and medical diagnosis. All lamps--incandescent, fluorescent, mercury vapor, tungsten, etc.-- emit some range of UV light, so could be considered UV lamps, but that is not their specific purpose, and the amounts or levels vary widely.


How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?

IR waves are longer than UV waves.

Why can UV break apart molecules and IR only speeds up the molecules vibrations?

Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than Infrared waves. Since the relationship between wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional, UV waves have a much higher frequency than IR waves. IR waves have a frequency around 1012 Hertz, while UV waves' frequencies are around 1018 Hz. Thus, UV waves are more powerful than IR waves and can cause binds between molecules to break much more easily than IR waves.


What is the difference between hydrogen and deuterium lamp for UV?

Hydrogen and deuterium lamps for UV vary in the gases that are utilized in the discharge.. Deuterium lamps also generate a higher intensity radiation compared to hydrogen lamps.

Difference between ultravioletradiation and infrared radiation?

1.In terms of frequency : UV rays = 1 x 1016 to 8 x 1014 Hertz IR rays = 4 x 1014 to 1 x 1013 Hertz 2.In terms of wavelength : UV rays = 3 x 10-8 to 4 x 10-7 meters IR rays =8 x 10-7 to 3x 10-5 meters 3.Source UV rays = excitation of atoms, spark. IR rays = Excitation of atoms and molecules,etc....


Can a mercury lamp be run at low pressure?

Yes, Low Pressure and Medium (High) Pressure Mercury lamps are manufactured and used for UV treatment of water etc. Medium (High) pressure UV lamps have a relatively broadband output, with many emission wavelengths between 200 and 400nm, whilst Low Pressure UV lamps have a much reduced output to the extent that they are frequently referred to as monochromatic.
