UV light can be used for many widely varied tasks: * Forensics: to indicate the presence of dried bodily fluids. * Entertainment: to make a purple/blue luminescence appear on white or pale materials. * Security: inks which are only visible under UV are used in paper currency and other sensitive documents (visas, passports, etc.) as a proof of validity. * Chemistry: is sometimes used as a method for determining a crystal's structure. * Medicine: controlled UV exposure, sometimes in conjunction with drugs, is an effective treatment for many diseases. * Food processing: UV lamps are used to kill viruses and bacteria in drinking water and in already sealed containers of food. Naturally this list does not include everything that UV light does, but serves as an indicator of the variety and commonality of its use.
