These rays are ultra violet rays like the sun. They not only can cause blindness in the long term, can cause "flash burn" or burning on the eye which is quite painful and can incapacitate a welder for a few days. They also cause sunburn and they are linked to skin cancer.

Will you go blind if you watch a nuclear explosion?

Directly watching a nuclear explosion can cause temporary or permanent blindness due to the intense light emitted during the explosion. The light can overwhelm the retina, causing burns and potentially leading to blindness. It is advised to avoid looking directly at a nuclear explosion and seek shelter instead.


Does visual light have any health hazards?

Visible light can cause blindness if extremely bright and/or prolonged.


Will exposure to blue light cause electrons to be emitted from cesium?

Yes, exposure to blue light can cause the photoelectric effect in cesium, leading to the emission of electrons. Blue light has enough energy to overcome the work function of cesium, which allows electrons to be emitted from its surface.


Does atomic bomb cause blindness?

It can if you are looking directly at it when it explodes, the UV light burns the retina.


Will exposure to red light cause electrons to be emitted from cesium?

Yes, exposure to red light can cause the emission of electrons from cesium through the photoelectric effect. Red light carries enough energy to excite electrons in the cesium atoms, allowing them to overcome the binding energy and be emitted from the surface.


What is the color of light emitted by the sun?

The color of light emitted by the sun is white.


What is the effect of light on silver compounds?

it reflects off and can cause blindness if looked at for too long so be warned!


What does a failure of the red sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to light properly cause?

color blindnessRed/ Green color blindness.


Can a diamond blind you?

If a diamond is pushed into the eyeball, it would damage the organ and potentially cause blindness. Reflectively, unless the original source of light bounced through a faceted diamond would blind an eye, the act of passing a light through a diamond would not -- as a stand-alone fact -- cause blindness in all probability.


Cones that do not respond to light cause?

Cones that do not respond to light cause vision problems, particularly in the daytime. They are responsible for color vision and detail, so dysfunction can lead to color blindness and reduced visual acuity.


What is an example of emitted light?

An example of emitted light is the light produced by a light bulb when it is turned on. The light bulb emits visible light by converting electrical energy into light energy.


Why do salts produce colors when heated?

The cause of the color is light (specific spectral lines) emitted by the metal from the salt at high temperatures.
