Is the human retina is sensitive to ultraviolet light?

The human retina is not very sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. The lens of the eye absorbs much of the UV radiation before it reaches the retina, protecting it from potential damage. However, prolonged exposure to intense UV light can still cause harm to the eyes.


What is lavender color wavelength?

The color lavender is a combination of purple and white, with a wavelength range around 380-450 nanometers. It is perceived by the human eye as a light shade of purple with a slightly pinkish hue.


What is the highest frequency a human can see?

The highest frequency a human can generally see is around 430 to 770 terahertz, corresponding to violet light. Beyond this range, ultraviolet light is not visible to the naked eye.


What are ultraviolet telescopes used for?

Ultraviolet telescopes are used to observe celestial objects emitting ultraviolet radiation, which is not visible to the human eye. They provide valuable information about the composition, temperature, and dynamics of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena that emit UV light. This can help astronomers study the formation of stars, the evolution of galaxies, and the presence of elements in the universe.


Can humans see visible light?

Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. It can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most ultraviolet is classified as non-ionizing radiation.
