Science Question: Ultraviolet Light

(1/3) > >>

Hot_Dog:
If infrared light allows beings to see "heat," what does ultraviolet light allow one to see?

Deep Toaster:
Dunno, but apparently bees can see it.

Builderboy:
The reason seeing infrared allows us to *see* heat is not because heat gives off infrared light, its because heat *is* infrared light :)

meishe91:
I don't remember a lot from the optics section in Physics but isn't it basically that you certain lights only reveal other things at that same frequency or wavelength? Or something like that.

Builderboy:
Im no expert in the area of color reflection, all i know is that infrared radiation is what we feel as heat ^^
