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'.

Can human see ultraviolet light?
No, the human cannot see ultraviolet rays with the naked eye.
Does ultraviolet light look purple to the human eye?
It doesn't look anything. The human eye can't see it at all. You can't even tell if ultraviolet light is there or not.
What are 2 forms of light that the human eye cant see?
infrared light and ultraviolet light
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see is called ultraviolet light?
No, the visible part is called visible light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the human eye.
Is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
No, the visible part is called visible light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the human eye.
Is the human retina is sensitive to ultraviolet light?
the lens is the most sensitive part of the eye. the retina can become damaged when there is an excessive ultraviolet light exposed.
How can the electromagnetic spectrum be used to explain the human eye's detection of color?
ultraviolet light
Does ultraviolet look purple to the human eye?
No. Normal human eyes are unable to see ultraviolet at all. People with aphakia say it looks pale blue. The author of this answer says it looks yellow but may be unique in this perception.
What are ultraviolet colors?
"Color" is the sensation that a light produces in your eye and your brain. Ultraviolet light is not detected by your eye, so there's no such thing as its color.
In the visible spectrum the color of light that has the shortest wave length is?
Violet, after that comes ultraviolet that the human eye cannot see.
How is ultraviolet light different from ordinary light?
It is not visible by the naked eye.
What type of rays are produced from the sun or a black light?
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.
