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.
What else can I help you with?
What type of object absorbs light rays?
A black object absorbs light rays by converting them into heat energy rather than reflecting or transmitting them. These objects appear black because they absorb most of the visible light spectrum.
What type of mirrors can produced both converging and diverging rays?
Spherical mirrors, such as concave and convex mirrors, can produce both converging and diverging rays depending on the mirror's shape and orientation. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point, while convex mirrors diverge light rays.
Which type of rays are visible?
Visible light rays are the only type of rays that are visible to the human eye. Other types of electromagnetic waves like infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are not visible.
What type of light bulb emits UV rays?
Ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emit UV rays.
Where is an image produced by a lens form?
An image produced by a lens is formed where all the light rays converge or appear to diverge. This point is known as the focal point or focal plane, depending on the type of lens used.

Why gama rays are rays but not waves?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Gamma Rays is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
Is cosmic rays a type of light?
Technically, "cosmic rays" are high-energy particles rather than electromagnetic radiation. So no, they are not a type of light.
What type of light bulb emits UV rays?
Ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emit UV rays.
Where is an image produced by a lens form?
An image produced by a lens is formed where all the light rays converge or appear to diverge. This point is known as the focal point or focal plane, depending on the type of lens used.
What is diffusing reflection?
When the rays of light do not follow the laws of reflection, then this type of reflection is called diffused reflection.
What type of substance does not transmit light rays?
obtrance
What type of lens causes light rays to refract?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge, or refract, towards a focal point. This type of lens is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to bend inward.
Is the suns rays gamma rays?
No, the Sun mostly emits visible light rays. A small amount of gamma rays might be emitted, but they would be insignificant. Inside the Sun, gamma rays are produced but they never escape in that form. The super-heated gases around the sun in the chromosphere emit mostly higher energy xrays, UV rays but also some gamma rays. Natural gamma rays sources are thought to be the most energetic events in the Universe. Although Supernovae seem to be the source of some, others are still somewhat mysterious.
What cannot be be produced by a diffuse reflection but is possible with a specular reflection?
I don’t understand the question
