  2. Ultraviolet catastrophe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe

    [1]: 6–7 The term "ultraviolet catastrophe" was first used in 1911 by Paul Ehrenfest, [2] but the concept originated with the 1900 statistical derivation of the Rayleigh–Jeans law. The phrase refers to the fact that the empirically derived Rayleigh–Jeans law, which accurately predicted experimental results at large wavelengths, failed to ...

    These lamps emit ultraviolet light with two peaks in the UVC band at 253.7 nm and 185 nm due to the mercury within the lamp, as well as some visible light. From 85% to 90% of the UV produced by these lamps is at 253.7 nm, whereas only 5–10% is at 185 nm. [38] The fused quartz tube passes the 253.7 nm radiation but blocks the 185 nm wavelength.

  4. Ultraviolet index - Wikipedia

    Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure. 6–7: Orange "High" A UV index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed.

    Beckman DU640 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV–Vis or UV-VIS) [1] [2] [3] refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflectance spectroscopy in part of the ultraviolet and the full, adjacent visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. [2]

  6. Manganese violet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese_violet

    Manganese violet is a fine, vibrant purple pigment that is synthetically generated. [12] It exhibits exceptional permanence and high lightfastness. [13] [14] The Waitress was created by Édouard Manet in 1879. Some artists historically avoided manganese violet because of they found its color to be dull.

  7. Ultraviolet astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_astronomy

    Ultraviolet astronomy is the observation 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. [1] Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. [2]

    DC plasma (violet) enhances the growth of carbon nanotubes in a laboratory-scale PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) apparatus. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin ...
