Of course. Just consider sunblock that we use on our skins to stop us burning. Sunglasses also filter out UV light to protect our eyes. For pretty much any wavelength of light, you could find something that absorbs it.
What about a 10ft-thick lead wall? That'll block most things.
On a more scientific note, consider a UV spectrometer. An instrument we use to calculate concentrations of something in a solution according to how much UV light that solution absorbs. UV light is blocked from reaching the detector by molecules floating in the solution. If we have a very concentrated solution, the absorption rises (if it blocks the specified wavelength).
So we can see that UV light is just as blockable as any other type of light, albeit perhaps using different things.
What else can I help you with?
Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
Can ultraviolet light pass through materials?
Yes, ultraviolet light can pass through some materials, while being absorbed or blocked by others. For example, materials such as glass, certain plastics, and synthetic fabrics are transparent to UV light, allowing it to pass through. On the other hand, materials like metals and thick clothing can block or absorb UV light.
What is the opposite of ultraviolet light?
The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?
Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.
How do you make the ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light is typically generated using ultraviolet lamps or LEDs that emit light in the ultraviolet spectrum. These devices use electrical energy to excite atoms, resulting in the emission of ultraviolet light. UV light can also be generated by natural sources like the sun.
In which of the layer of the atmosphere is most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which layer of the atmosphere is the most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
Which rays are blocked by sunglasses?
UV, ultraviolet
Most of the Sun's ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface?
No, most of the Sun's ultraviolet light is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly by the ozone layer. Only a small fraction of ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface, which is why it is important to protect ourselves from its harmful effects with sunscreen and protective clothing.
What type of Rays blocked by sunglasses?
Ultraviolet rays are blocked. It helps prevent radiations enter our eyes.
What is light blocked by?
Light is blocked by light form
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.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
Ultraviolet light. That's why it's called so.
Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
Can ultraviolet light pass through materials?
Yes, ultraviolet light can pass through some materials, while being absorbed or blocked by others. For example, materials such as glass, certain plastics, and synthetic fabrics are transparent to UV light, allowing it to pass through. On the other hand, materials like metals and thick clothing can block or absorb UV light.
Riboflavin is destroyed by?
as i know its destroyed by ultraviolet light
An example of a carcinogen would be ultraviolet light or benzene?
ultraviolet light.
