The Sun, like all stars, generates UV along with a myriad of frequencies of energy. Other sources of UV are some forms of gas combustion, electric arc welders, and (to a much smaller extent) ordinary incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Some "black light" or "glow-in-the-dark" bulbs are designed to trap most visible light and release UV light.
Commercial tanning beds use special lamps that generate profuse UV-A light and some UV-B. These may be less-expensive phosphor fluorescent lamps or the more efficient quartz lamps.
What else can I help you with?
Does ultraviolet light produce heat?
Ultraviolet light does not directly produce heat. Heat is typically generated when ultraviolet light is absorbed by an object and converted into thermal energy.
Which state helps produce light in fluorescent light bulbs?
Mercury vapor gas in fluorescent light bulbs helps to produce ultraviolet light when an electric current passes through it. The ultraviolet light then causes the phosphor coating inside the bulb to glow and produce visible light.
Why does the body depend on ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet is needed for healthy skin growth. It is also needed to produce Vitamin d
What is The reaction of automobile exhaust and ultraviolet light?
The two combine to produce smoke.
Is it true that ultraviolet radiation stimualtes the skin to produce anitibodies?
No; ultraviolet radiation stimulates the skin to produce melanin. UV light also converts a precursor to vitamin D in the skin.
What wave is necessary for humans to produce vitamin D?
ultraviolet waves
What type of ultraviolet light is most efficient in stimulating the skin to produce tanning?
uva
What do skin cells produce when exposed to ultraviolet light?
Skin cells produce vitamin D when exposed to ultraviolet light. This process helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, which are important for bone health. However, overexposure to ultraviolet light can also cause damage to the skin cells, leading to sunburn and an increased risk of skin cancer.
How do fluorescent bulbs glow?
Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury vapor that emits ultraviolet light when electricity excites it. The ultraviolet light then hits a phosphor coating inside the bulb, causing it to glow and produce visible light.
How do you create ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is naturally produced by the sun and certain light sources such as UV lamps. It cannot be created by individuals but can be harnessed using specialized equipment designed to produce UV light.
If ultraviolet light has little penetrating power what will it produce?
yes, it will. But, the ozone layer will pretect us fron ultaviolet rays. PS. Ultraviolet rays come from the Sun!!
Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
