Melanin is the substance found in the skin that absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light. It is produced by melanocytes and provides some protection against UV radiation by absorbing harmful rays, thus reducing the risk of skin damage and cancer. The amount and type of melanin in an individual's skin can vary greatly, influencing their overall susceptibility to UV-related harm.
What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet light?
The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light.
The emission of colored light rays by a substance during exposure to ultraviolet light?
This phenomenon is called fluorescence. When a substance absorbs ultraviolet light, it becomes excited and emits visible light of different colors. The emitted light is characteristic of the substance and can be used in various applications such as fluorescent microscopy, forensics, and material analysis.
Is a bloom is a substance that absorbs light?
a bloom is a substance that absorbs light
What absorbs ultraviolet light and protects us from its harmful effects?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet light and protects us from its harmful effects.
When calcite absorbs ultraviolet light and gives off red light it is displaying the property of?
Calcite displaying the property of fluorescence - when it absorbs ultraviolet light and emits visible light, such as red light.
What is the chemical in the atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet light from the Sun?
Ozone is the chemical that absorbs UV light. It is present in the stratosphere.
Does urine reflect ultraviolet light?
Yes, urine does not reflect ultraviolet light. Instead, it usually absorbs the ultraviolet light and might fluoresce under certain conditions.
A substance that absorbs light?
Pigment :|]
When calcite absorbs ultraviolet light an gives off red light it is displaying the property of?
Radioactivity
After absorbing ultraviolet light a mineral releases visible light rays has the property of what?
The ability of a mineral or substance to glow during and after exposure to ultraviolet light is called fluorescence. If it continues to glow after the ultraviolet light has been turned off the effect is called phosphorescence.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
Fluorescent material absorbs ultraviolet radiation and re-emits it at longer visible wavelengths, producing a glowing effect. This phenomenon is called fluorescence, where the material appears to radiate light of a different color than the ultraviolet light initially absorbed.
What substance absorbs light?
anything black
