And how do you get a black light? What exactly is a black light? How can light be black? If you shine a black light in the dark would you know the light was on?

Black lights cause white objects to glow in the dark. See more black light pictures.



You have probably seen black lights at amusement parts, science museums and Halloween displays. Black lights may look just like normal fluorescent lamps or incandescent light bulbs, but they do something completely different. Switch one on, and white clothes, teeth and various other things glow in the dark.

For example, if you have a fluorescent poster and shine a black light on it in a dark room, the poster will glow brightly. You may have also seen pieces of paper that look blank in regular light but spell out a glowing message under a black light. Many amusement parks use hand stamps that are invisible until you view them under black light.

In this article, we'll find out exactly what's going on here. We'll also see why black lights make some objects glow but not others, and we'll look at some interesting black light applications.

What Is "Black Light"?

If you turn on a black light bulb in a dark room, what you can see from the bulb is a purplish glow. What you cannot see is the ultraviolet light that the bulb is also producing.

Our eyes can see visible light in a spectrum ranging from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Above violet is ultraviolet light, which we cannot see. How Sunburns and Sun Tans Work discusses ultraviolet light and its effects on our skin. A black light bulb produces UVA light (as opposed to UVB light, which is much more harmful).

:wah::wah: hysterical Jesse...thanks:-6 I love the pig's life and couldn't believe that info about roaches.....they make me shiver:(

Very informative, el quapo.





:D

Thanks for the information. So a black light isn't really black, the term is just a quick name for an ultra violet light? That makes sense.

Did you know that wearing toesocks, which is socks with individual toes, actually inceases the awareness and movement of the feet. Also increasing body balance, reducing bad odour from the feet, by absorbing the sweat between the toes. Some people might find it weird, but like anything you can get used to it, with so many benefits waiting for you. Its like wearing gloves and wearing mittens. Bought my first pair from a comp called TOETOE, their pretty good. Feet feel free now.

Im telling you, every body should wear them, these ordinary conventional socks are like mittens, ristricting your feet from freedom of movement.

Alas! enough is said.
