UV light causes dimerisation between Cytosine bases in DNA (causing it to mutate). As bacteria only have small genomes, mutations will have a lethal effect a lot more commonly than if it happened to a person.

A UV light wand can kill lice. It can also kill the eggs of dust mites, fleas, and lice. The wand can kill 99 percent of bacteria and viruses.
yes, it does it burns it until it goes away.
It totally depends on the level of UV radiation, it can be harmless to bacteria but through unlikely odds can cause mutation. a high level can kill most bacteria, but knowing there probally is one type able to take on this level of radiation.
Common household remote control devices typically use infrared light or radio frequencies.
Ultraviolet light can kill microbes or bacteria.

Ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet light produced by Ultraviolet lamps is used to kill bacteria on food and surgical tools.
Ultraviolet light can kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores by damaging their DNA or RNA. This disrupts their ability to replicate and survive. UV light is commonly used for disinfection in water treatment, air purification, and medical settings.
Ultraviolet (UV) light waves are commonly used to kill harmful bacteria. UV light damages the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and causing them to die. UV light is often used in water treatment, air purifiers, and sterilization processes.
No. The reason is that ultraviolet light are relevant to the sunlight where as we know that no bacteria can stand too much heat, hence bacteria can't persist in (U.V - radiations)...
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, specifically UVC light, can be used to kill bacteria. UVC light has a short wavelength and high energy, which damages the DNA and RNA of bacteria, preventing their growth and reproduction. This property makes UVC light an effective tool for disinfection purposes.
bacteria and germs
Ultraviolet (UV) ray is often used to kill bacteria because it damages the DNA and prevents them from reproducing. UV light is commonly used in water treatment systems and disinfection processes to eliminate harmful bacteria and other microorganisms.
Ultraviolet light is used in water purification systems to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. It is used in forensic investigations to detect bodily fluids and other substances that are not visible to the naked eye. In medicine, ultraviolet light is used for the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
depends on the strength and energy level of the ultraviolet light source. but i would assume yes..
