Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?

The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does 230 nm of light lie?
In the ultra-violet
What is wave length of ultra violet rediation?
the length of an ultra violet wave is about 0.4 nanometers
What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have astronomers been unable to get any information?
We can get information from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum provided we use the correct "listening" devices; that is the entire range, Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, xray, and gamma rays
How fast does ultra violet travel?
fast
What has the author Eleanor Hilda Russell written?
Eleanor Hilda Russell has written: 'Ultra-violet radiation and actinotherapy' -- subject(s): Ultra-violet rays, Spectrum, Ultra-violet, Phototherapy
Which color can Bees not see?
A bee's colour vision extends well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not so far as ours into the red end of the spectrum. Bees can also distinguish plane polarized light, which we can't.
What is ultra violet given out by?
The sun.
Can the honey bee see ultraviolet light?
A honey bee's colour vision extends well into the ultra violet range of the spectrum so thay can see ultra violet light.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does 230 nm of light lie?
In the ultra-violet
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
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.
Why is the human eye unable to see ultraviolet light?
You should look at it the other way round. The word 'ultra' means 'beyond', so you have the visible spectrum which ends at violet, then what is beyond is 'ultra violet'.
Is ulta voilet radiation in the visible spectrum?
No. "Ultra"-violet is "past"-violet ... higher frequency/shorter wavelengththan anything to which your eyes are able to respond.
When you stand in the sun which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is NOT striking you?
All wavelengths shorter than the low part of the ultra-violet spectrum are shielded from us by the atmosphere.
What wavelength of light do bees use to see flowers?
Human vision extends across the colour spectrum from wavelengths of 0.4 µm to 0.76 µm which roughly corresponds violet/blue to red. The bee's spectrum of colour is from 0.3 µm to 0.65 µm corresponding from ultra violet to yellow/orange. From this it can be seen that bees cannot detect red but some red flowers reflect ultraviolet light which bees can see.
Is shmurple a real word?
Yes, it's the 4th primary color birds are able to see in the ultra-violet spectrum.
