At that time infra-red was commonly called black light, a term later restricted to Ultraviolet.

Ultraviolet ( UV ), X-Ray and shorter wavelengths of solar radiation are ionizing, since photons at these frequencies contain sufficient energy to dislodge an electron from a neutral gas atom or molecule upon absorption.

Ultraviolet light enables the resolution of microscopic features, as well as to image samples that are transparent to the eye.

( Ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays are regarded as ionizing.

Ultraviolet and higher frequencies, such as X-rays or gamma rays are ionizing, and these pose their own special hazards: see radiation and radiation poisoning.

Ultraviolet light ( UVA ) treatments are normally carried out in a hospital clinic.

Ultraviolet light, asbestos and androgens released by the prostate gland are all known to induce increased ODC activity associated with cancer.

Ultraviolet astronomy is generally used to refer to observations of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres ; shorter wavelengths — higher energy photons — are studied by X-ray astronomy and gamma ray astronomy.

Ultraviolet line spectrum measurements are used to discern the chemical composition, densities, and temperatures of the interstellar medium, and the temperature and composition of hot young stars.

Ultraviolet light fixtures are often present in microbiology labs, and are activated only when there are no occupants in a room ( e. g., at night ).

In Ultraviolet these methods allow the vampire hunters to develop modern weaponry to fend off their foes-instead of stakes, they carry automatic handguns and submachine guns with carbon bullets and specialized sights that use video cameras to differentiate between vampires and humans ( vampires are invisible to recording devices ); instead of wreaths of garlic, gas grenades containing concentrated allicin ; instead of sunlight, lamps emitting ultraviolet light.

Two primary experiments are the Ultraviolet Coronal Spectrometer from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and the White Light Coronograph ( WLC ) from the High Altitude Observatory.

The six experiments that make up the IEH payload are ( 1 ) Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker ( SEH ) payload which obtained EUV and FUV fluxes that are required when studying the Earth's upper atmosphere ; ( 2 ) Ultraviolet Spectrograph Telescope for Astronomical Research ( UVSTAR ) payload designed to measure EUV fluxes which can be used to form images of extended plasma sources ( ex.

* Ultraviolet fluorescence and infrared analysis are used to detect repairs or earlier painting present on canvasses.

Rash guards also offer some protection from the sun ( measured by its Ultraviolet Protection Factor ) and slight protection against jelly fish stings and are sometimes worn under wetsuits to prevent chafing.

ALEXIS, with its wide fields-of-view and well-defined wavelength bands, complements the scanners on NASA's Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer ( EUVE ) and the ROSAT EUV Wide Field Camera ( WFC ), which are sensitive, narrow field-of-view, broad-band survey experiments.

Ultraviolet rays are present in sunlight and light from various artificial sources, and can cause sunburn or skin cancer.

Ultraviolet radiation is invisible, but a small fraction of visible light passes through the filtering material, with wavelengths no longer than 400-410 nm, and as a result, when operating the lamp emits a dim purple or violet glow.

Ultraviolet stabilizers ( e. g. benozophenone-1 ) resist color changes when the dry film is exposed to direct sunlight.

* Photocatalytic Oxidation, a chemical reaction that occurs when titanium dioxide is exposed to Ultraviolet Light.

Ultraviolet light therapy or ultraviolet Phototherapy is a form of treatment for certain skin disorders ( including atopic skin disorder and vitiligo when used with psoralen to form the PUVA treatment ) It consists mostly of the UVA band of ultraviolet light ( fairly closely matching the ultraviolet output from the sun ) and is usually delivered from a fluorescent bulb specially designed to output this frequency of ultraviolet.

It also carried the Heavy Ion Counter, an engineering experiment added to assess the potentially hazardous charged particle environments the spacecraft flew through, and an added Extreme Ultraviolet detector associated with the UV spectrometer on the scan platform.

Ultraviolet ( UV ) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays, that is, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, corresponding to photon energies from 3 eV to 124 eV.

In the case of Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy ( UPS ), the surface of a solid sample is irradiated with ultraviolet ( UV ) light and the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is analysed.

Ultraviolet – visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry ( UV-Vis or UV / Vis ) refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region.

Most reptiles also require some form of Ultraviolet radiation which can be provided through a UV bulb.

Ultraviolet light ( UV ) is very effective at inactivating cysts, in low turbidity water.

** Ultraviolet ( UV ) radiation is ionizing but it is not penetrating, so it can be shielded by thin opaque layers such as sunscreen, clothing, and protective eyewear.

* Ultraviolet light irradiation ( UV, from a germicidal lamp ) is useful only for sterilization of surfaces and some transparent objects.
