Ultraviolet rays are Electromagnetic waves that have higher frequencies than visible light, so they carry more energy.
What are Ultraviolet rays?
- Johann Wilhelm Ritter, a German physicist, first noticed that paper soaked in silver chloride browned more quickly when exposed to Ultraviolet rays than when it was exposed to violet light itself in 1801.
- For the most part, humans cannot see ultraviolet rays. The cornea filters out shorter wavelengths, while the lens of the human eye primarily inhibits radiation in the 300–400 nm range.
- Additionally, UV color receptor adaptations are not present in humans. The retina's photoreceptors are sensitive to near-UV, though, and those without lenses (a condition known as aphakia) see near-UV as whitish-blue or whitish-violet.
- The body produces vitamin D, which is necessary for life when exposed to UV light, more especially UVB. UV rays are necessary for humans to maintain proper vitamin levels.
