The UV radiation was discovered in 1801 when the German physicist The discovery of the ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths below 200 nm, named "vacuum ultraviolet" because it is strongly absorbed by the oxygen in air, was made in 1893 by the German physicist A variety of solid-state and vacuum devices have been explored for use in different parts of the UV spectrum. A local ultraviolet emitter will normally disrupt the navigation process and will eventually attract the flying insect. Other UV sources with more continuous emission spectra include UVC LEDs are developing rapidly, but may require testing to verify effective disinfection. It is used in the hotel industry, manufacturing, and other industries where levels of cleanliness or contamination are Perennial news features for many television news organizations involve an investigative reporter using a similar device to reveal unsanitary conditions in hotels, public toilets, hand rails, and such.In pollution control applications, ultraviolet analyzers are used to detect emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, mercury, and ammonia, for example in the flue gas of fossil-fired power plants.In general, ultraviolet detectors use either a solid-state device, such as one based on UV detectors are sensitive to most fires, including Ultraviolet radiation is used for very fine resolution Electronic components that require clear transparency for light to exit or enter (photovoltaic panels and sensors) can be potted using acrylic resins that are cured using UV energy.

The shorter is an F8T5/BLB 12 inch, 8 watt tube, used in a portable battery-powered black light sold as a pet urine detector.9-watt germicidal UV lamp, in compact fluorescent (CF) form factorTunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) via sum and difference frequency mixingTunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) via sum and difference frequency mixing"On a new Imponderable Substance and on a Class of Chemical Rays analogous to the rays of Dark Heat", J.W. Due to their higher energies, UV photons can cause ionization, a process in which electrons break away from atoms. Urine trails of rodents can be detected by pest control technicians for proper treatment of infested dwellings.
The German physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter, having learned of Herschel’s discovery of infrared waves, looked beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum of the Sun and found (in 1801) that there exist invisible rays that darken silver chloride even more… It can cause color change and degradation of physical properties… This often has the side effect of causing rider's white clothing to glow light-purple. UV radiation attacks all types of polymers, but a few (such as acrylonitriles and methyl methacrylates) show better UV resistance than most. Draper, The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, 1842, LXXX, pp.453–461"Description of the Tithonometer", J.W. Radiation of this wavelength is almost absent from sunlight but is found in welder's arc lights and other artificial sources. Draper, The Practical Mechanic and Engineer's Magazine, January 1844, pp.122–127 However, phototherapy can be effective when used in conjunction with certain topical treatments such as anthralin, coal tar, and vitamin A and D derivatives, or systemic treatments such as methotrexate and Soriatane.It is a known problem that high levels of output of the UVa part of the spectrum can both cause cellular and DNA damage to sensitive parts of their bodies - especially the eyes where blindness is the result of an improper UVa/b source use and placement Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-raysTwo black light fluorescent tubes, showing use. Ultraviolet rays are invisible to most humans. For photography in the near UV, special filters may be used. Digital cameras sensors may have internal filters that block UV to improve color rendition accuracy. This damage can be b…
Photography of the fluorescence produced by ultraviolet illumination uses visible wavelengths of light. Colorless fluorescent dyes that emit blue light under UV are added as UV fluorescent dyes that glow in the primary colors are used in paints, papers, and textiles either to enhance color under daylight illumination or to provide special effects when lit with UV lamps. Wavelengths longer than about 30 nm interact mainly with the outer Some sources use the distinction of "hard UV" and "soft UV" - in the case of astrophysics the boundary may be at the The atmosphere blocks about 77% of the Sun's UV, when the Sun is highest in the sky (at zenith), with absorption increasing at shorter UV wavelengths.
The resulting vacancy affects the chemical properties of the atoms and causes them to form or break chemical bonds that they otherwise would not. Ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is all around us even though our eyes can't detect it. Ultraviolet radiation is helpful in the treatment of UVB phototherapy does not require additional medications or topical preparations for the therapeutic benefit; only the exposure is needed.
The impact of ultraviolet radiation on human health has implications for the risks and benefits of sun exposure and is also implicated in issues such as fluorescent lamps and health. that was published in 2006, the amount of harmful Ultraviolet radiation can aggravate several skin conditions and diseases, includingThe eye is most sensitive to damage by UV in the lower UVC band at 265–275 nm. The Sun is a source of the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiation, which is commonly subdivided into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Scorpions glow or take on a yellow to green color under UV illumination, thus assisting in the control of these arachnids. ... UV exposure is also greater in areas of snow, sand, pavement, and water due to the reflective properties of these surfaces.
