Is UV good for you?
In, moderation, uv light is a benefactor that helps synthesize certain vitamins. However, the level of uv humans have adapted to use is being surpassed because of ozone depletion, which lets more highly radioactive light into our atmosphere. This, coupled with excessive outdoor activity (not like a few hours, but something like most of the day) may cause cancer and other ailments.
How does an ozone lamp work?
"Ozone lamps" are UV light sources that use quartz sleeves between the environment and the mercury plasma that produces the light, and does not have the titanium dioxide coating that absorbs short wave UV and makes lots of visible light (the usual fluorescent light bulb does this). Normal glass will absorb too much of the UV. Ozone in the tropopause is produced by 215nm (or more energetic) UV light, and mercury vapor lamps produce some light at a more energetic 185nm wavelength.
What type of radiation causes sun burn?
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
What protects us from UV rays?
The atmosphere. The atmosphere has many different layers that filter most of the harmful light of the sun.the ozone layer!!!!!
What does UV mean?
"UV" stands for "ultra-violet". We measure light in colors; red light has the least energy, and violet has the most. Light that has even less energy than red light is called "infra-red" or IR; this means "below red". Light that has even more energy than violet is called "ultra-violet", or UV; this means "above violet". The electromagnetic spectrum covers everything from radio to microwaves to heat to light to X-rays to gamma rays, as you go up the spectrum increasing in frequency and energy. UV and IR are the bands just above and just below the "visible light" spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation of ALL frequencies is emitted by the Sun, but each star has its own peak of color and radiation. We evolved here on Earth, in an atmosphere that selectively absorbs and blocks some frequency ranges. The most transparent is the band that we call "visible light"; our eyes evolved to see these frequencies BECAUSE they were the most useful ones for life HERE, on the Earth. If we ever meet aliens in space, the chances are that they will "see" in different bands, because THEIR atmosphere will be different than ours; if they even HAVE an atmosphere like Earth does.
Is UV light the same as fluorescent light?
The UV light is different to that of fluorescent light. The UV originates from the sun. The latter one does not.No, it is not. UV is different.
Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?
Yes, UV light and UV rays are the same thing, light emit "rays."
What happens when someone is exposed to UV light exposure?
Nothing good...
Is UV light treatment or Solarium good for Psoriasis?
yess it is i tried it
How does ultraviolet light affect the environment?
UV light affects the environment in a bad way. UV can cause skin cancer, cataract, suppress the immune system etc.
How do you get a UV light?
you go to a beauty shop and ask for a UV light
Does UV light kill ringworm?
yes the UV light kills the fungus
How is uv light different from light?
It is different because the UV light is brighter then a normal light and it is like a laser. UV light is different to normal light because it is invisible and the wave length is smaller.
Why can UV light cause cancer and not infrared light?
UV light can be turned into infrared light u dofus. DANJUIN
What is good about UV headlights?
UV headlights can be used to destroy bacteria and other microbes, which is obviously a benefit. You can be sure you are driving on newly sterilized road. As UV light originally comes from the sun, it can be used in the good fight against vampires.
What is the temperature of a UV light?
the temperature of a UV light is 10nm-400 degrees fahrenheit
Can you see a uv tattoo?
only in uv light
