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.
What else can I help you with?
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does 230 nm of light lie?
230 nm of light lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Is ultra violet hyphenated?
Yes, "ultra-violet" is typically hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun.
Why is the UV region of the electromagnectic spectrum called the 'Ultraviolet' region?
The UV region is called "ultraviolet" because it has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light, which is perceived as violet in the spectrum. "Ultra" means beyond, so ultraviolet implies light that is beyond violet in terms of wavelength and frequency.
Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than violet light. Violet light is at the end of the visible light spectrum with longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet radiation, which falls just beyond the violet end of the spectrum.
What type of radiation is between ultra violet and infa red?
The type of radiation between ultraviolet and infrared is visible light. This is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be detected by the human eye and includes all the colors of the rainbow.
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.
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.
What color is ultra violet?
Ultra violet is a shade of purple that is close to the visible spectrum of light, but just beyond the range of human vision. It is often described as a deep, rich purple with blue undertones.
Which visible colors has the most energy?
The color violet has the highest energy among the visible colors. It has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency in the visible spectrum.
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.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does 230 nm of light lie?
230 nm of light lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
Is shmurple a real word?
Yes, it's the 4th primary color birds are able to see in the ultra-violet spectrum.
