Yes, an ultraviolet (UV) light and a black light are often used interchangeably to refer to a type of light that emits ultraviolet radiation. Black lights typically emit UVA light, which is not visible to the human eye but can cause fluorescent and phosphorescent materials to glow.
What else can I help you with?
Do violet light and red light have the same energy?
No, violet light carries more energy than red light. Violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which corresponds to higher energy photons, while red light has a longer wavelength and lower energy photons.
When black light goes into a prism what color comes out of the prism?
Black light is actually ultraviolet light, which is not visible to the human eye. When ultraviolet light enters a prism, it can get separated into its component colors just like visible light. The colors that come out of the prism will be the same as a normal white light spectrum - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
What travels faster through the same medium red light or violet light?
Red light and violet light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, however, they travel at different speeds relative to each other when traveling through any medium other than a vacuum.In most media, violet light has a higher index of refraction (usually denoted with the letter n) than red light. The higher the index of refraction, the slower the light goes compared to its speed in a vacuum. This relationship is governed by the following equation: v = c/n where v is the speed of light in a particular medium, n is the index of refraction of light in that medium, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Since red light has a smaller n than violet light in most media, red light travels faster than violet light in most media.The index of refraction is determined by solving Maxwell's equations for a particular frequency and a particular medium using specific boundary conditions.Read more at the link I provided below.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_travels_faster_red_light_or_violet_light#ixzz17j1yTzi6
What is the wave speed of ultra violet?
The speed of ultraviolet (UV) waves is the same as the speed of light in a vacuum, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. Ultraviolet waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that falls between visible light and X-rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.
In what medium does light travel the fastest?
a vacuum, since there is nothing for the light to hit and be slowed down. just out of interest, the slowest is frozen crystaline sodium, where light travels at 38mph
What kind of wave is an ultra violet ray?
An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light. It is a transverse wave
Can mosquitoes see in red light?
Bees have three types of colour receptor in their eyes, and their color sensitivities peak in the yellow-green, blue, and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This means that bees can see ultra-violet (which we can't), and the yellow-green receptors peak further up the spectrum that our own red-orange receptors. However, the receptors also pick up colours either side of their peak sensitivity, so it is likely that a strong enough red light will be detected, but will not be seen as well as we can see it.
Why does bee visit red flower if it cant see it?
Bees might not be able to see red so to them it may appear the same as black, but they can see ultra-violet light, which is invisible to us, and so can see patterns in the petals that we can't.
What color of flower do bees sees better?
A bee's colour vision is not the same as ours. We see colours from red to blue violet, but a bee sees colours ranging from orange-yellow to ultra violet, so are blind to red. However, a red flower may not appear black to them because it may reflect ultra violet, which we can't see. Most flowers have patterns visible in ultra violet which help guide the bees to the nectar.
What are the similarities between Ultra Violet and infra-red?
Both of them travel through space at the same speed
Why do bees prefer the color red?
It's not so much they don't like it: they can't see it. A bee's color vision is not the same as ours. Their eyes are sensitive well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not as far as ours towards the red end of the spectrum. To a bee, deep red appears black.
Do violet light and red light have the same energy?
No, violet light carries more energy than red light. Violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which corresponds to higher energy photons, while red light has a longer wavelength and lower energy photons.
Is purple the same color as violet?
Purple and violet are not the same color. Purple is a combination of blue and red pigments, while violet is a spectral color with its own unique wavelength on the visible light spectrum. Purple tends to be a warmer and more red-leaning color, while violet is a cooler, bluer color.
When black light goes into a prism what color comes out of the prism?
Black light is actually ultraviolet light, which is not visible to the human eye. When ultraviolet light enters a prism, it can get separated into its component colors just like visible light. The colors that come out of the prism will be the same as a normal white light spectrum - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
Are black lights and a uvb light bulb the same?
No, they are not the same. A black light bulb produces UVA light.
Is an ultraviolet light the same as a black light?
Yes it has The The Same Light Wave
Are ultra light cigarettes better for you than light cigarettes?
No; a light or ultra light cigarette is not any safer than a regular cigarette. Studies have found that smokers will compensate for the type of cigarette (i.e., inhaling longer on a light or ultra light cigarette) ultimately receiving the same amount of nicotine.
