A true "black light" should emit only ultraviolet radiation.
Violet light waves have the highest frequency visible to a human eye. Ultraviolet has a higher frequency, and the human eye cannot detect it.
When you buy a "black light" at the party store, in addition to the ultraviolet radiation, the bulb will usually give off violet light as well (analogous to a yellow light bulb looking a bit orange).
You can see the violet light, but it's really the invisible, high energy ultraviolet light that provides all the "cool" effects.

What is the type of light source that reflects light rays for a microscope?
Mirror.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
Which type of light has the most energy?
Gamma Rays
Which type of light carries the most energy?
Gamma Rays
Type of microscope that uses glass lenses to focus light rays?
Optical or Light microscope
Why gama rays are rays but not waves?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Gamma Rays is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
Is cosmic rays a type of light?
Technically, "cosmic rays" are high-energy particles rather than electromagnetic radiation. So no, they are not a type of light.
What is the type of light source that reflects light rays for a microscope?
Mirror.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
What type of substance does not transmit light rays?
obtrance
Which type of light has the most energy?
Gamma Rays
What is diffusing reflection?
When the rays of light do not follow the laws of reflection, then this type of reflection is called diffused reflection.
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
Which type of light carries the most energy?
Gamma Rays
What type of transverse waves can travel through matter or space are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles and include X rays ultraviolet waves and visible light?
Electromagnetic waves
What type of rays can you make and how?
Well, a flashlight omits ultraviolet rays. A microwave omits microwave ray and visible light with any source of light
Why micro waves are called waves but not rays?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Micro Waves is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
