no, because ultraviolet rays are just above seeing and with ultraviolet lights, you see a more violet color.

Can human see ultraviolet light?

No, the human cannot see ultraviolet rays with the naked eye.


What are three forms of radiation that humans cannot see?

Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays are three forms of radiation that humans cannot see. These forms of radiation have wavelengths shorter than visible light and are not within the visible spectrum.


What type of rays are produced from the sun or a black light?

A true "black light" should emit only ultraviolet radiation. Violet light waves have the highest frequency visible to a human eye. Ultraviolet has a higher frequency, and the human eye cannot detect it. When you buy a "black light" at the party store, in addition to the ultraviolet radiation, the bulb will usually give off violet light as well (analogous to a yellow light bulb looking a bit orange). You can see the violet light, but it's really the invisible, high energy ultraviolet light that provides all the "cool" effects.


Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?

Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?

Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.

What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?

Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)


What are ultroviolent rays?

Ultraviolet rays are rays of light which are just beyond the visible spectrum for a human. These waves are shorter than the shortest waves possible for a human to see.


Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?

No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.

Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?

Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)

What is an ultraviolet ray?

You cannot see ultraviolet rays, you can only see electromagnetic waves that are within the visible light spectrum; therefore it does not have a color. It is simply referred to as ultraviolet because its respective band on the EM spectrum lies above our visible violet frequencies.


What type of electromagnetic wave do humans see?

Human eye can see light rays only. Most probably the vise verse is true. The electromagnetic rays that are seen by the human eye are called as light rays. It is from violet to red colors. Ultraviolet and infrared rays are not seen by human eye.
