Ultraviolet (UV)
A part of the electromagnetic spectrum from about 400nm down to 1nm. It is invisible to the human eye, but most photographic materials are sensitive to near UV bands down to 250nm.
Ultraviolet Photography
Ultraviolet Photography refers to the branch of photography that captures pictures using ultraviolet light, a form of light undetectable by the human eye.
Ultraviolet light
Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light.
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) is light along the color spectrum that is beyond the visible blues. UV light has short (high energy) wavelengths, as opposed to infra-red (IR) light which has long wavelengths, and is also invisible to the human eye.
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION - (UV) - Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye, but can be seen by bees and butterflies. Most photographic films are sensitive to this electromagnetic radiation.
ultraviolet curing
(1) the process of polymerization; (2) a reaction initiated by the presence of ultraviolet light; (3) the use of ultraviolet radiation to convert a wet coating or ink into a solid film.
Ultraviolet(UV)
A Band of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum invisible to the human eye which are shorter than the blue end of the spectrum. All films are sensitive to some ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet (UV)
A portion of the Spectrum to which film and bees' eyes are sensitive, but not human eyes.

Ultraviolet
The part of the spectrum just beyond violet. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye but strongly affects photographic materials.
-Near ultraviolet are wavelengths from about 400nm down to 250nm. Most photographic emulsions are sensitive to this range of bands.

UV filters block ultraviolet light, which can cause a bluish cast in images shot where there's a lot of UV (e.g. high altitudes).
That part of the ultraviolet spectrum nearest to X rays, i.e. short wavelength UV.
UVB
Between UVA and UVC.
A positive image may be produced by exposing the treated paper to a source of ultraviolet light such as the sun and then developing and washing the print, washing away water-soluble salts and leaving non-water-soluble Prussian blue in the paper.
Light-sensitive emulsions are sensitive to all wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation. For all practical purposes, the general classes of emulsions are considered insensitive to the shorter wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
-- Line emission is generally produced by fluorescence, in which atoms or molecules are "excited" to a high energy state by absorbing ultraviolet radiation, and then "decay" to their "rest state" via a series of quantum jumps.
The printer uses thermal and ultraviolet printheads and the paper is passed beneath these three times. On the first pass, the paper is heated to the temperature that activates the yellow pigment. This layer is then fixed by the ultraviolet printhead.
UV Filter A filter that eliminates invisible ultraviolet light, rendering pictures with higher contrast. This filter can be left on the lens as a lens protector.
There are various types of filters which are used for this purpose, chief among them are a UV (ultraviolet) and a Skylight Filter. Their effects on the photo are negligible. They are there because you want to protect your lens.
Plain clear glass, ultraviolet (UV) and warming filters are sold as protective filters to help reduce the risk of lens damage.
One problem you will encounter at high altitudes is an excess of ultraviolet light, which results in atmospheric haze. You can use this haze to advantage, but if it is obscuring your subject, you may need to place a filter over your DSLR lens.
A rainbow is generally described as having bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, but the actual number of hues is infinite between ultraviolet and infrared.
These prints are made by contact- printing negatives onto specially- coated paper with sunlight or ultraviolet lamps.
Filter used to reduce ultraviolet light exposure of film. Ultraviolet light can cause an image to appear hazy. Most modern color film and digital sensors are not sensitive to UV light.

Mercury vapor in the tube emits ultraviolet radiation that is converted to visible radiation by the fluorescent coating.
Skylight Filter - This is an UltraViolet absorbing filter that helps overcome the abundance of blue in outdoor photographs.
Our world actually exists as an infinite number of different colors, ranging along the spectrum of light from ultraviolet to infrared. But camera makers, just like nature, have to make a tradeoff.
Protech Daily Moisturizer 30+ provides protection against the harmful ultraviolet rays while protecting your skin against chapping and wind burn.
This is a filter used to reduce ultraviolet light exposure of the film. Ultraviolet light can cause an image to appear hazy.

The sun is a nuclear furnace that is constantly emitting Ultraviolet rays as well as X-Rays and extremely dangerous Gamma rays. The intensity of these different rays vary according to their wavelength but they are all present.
Diazo
abbreviation of diazonium compounds, which decompose under the action of intense blue or ultraviolet radiation, forming an image in an azo dye.

Black and white is sensitive to most of the visible spectrum of light (panchromatic), along with some ultraviolet. It is more sensitive to blues, which means skies tend to get overexposed.

UV Haze Filter: A visually clear filter that removes bluish haze caused by ultraviolet light. Commonly left on the lens all the time to serve as protection.
You may hear that a solar filter is equivalent to a #5 Neutral Density filter. True, to a point. A #5 cuts out most of the visible sunlight. But it doesn't cut out enough ultraviolet sunlight, which can blind you. So, don't use a #5! ...
