Puddles are often characterized by murky water or mud due to the disturbance and dissolving of surrounding sediment, primarily due to precipitation .
Blacklight fluorescent tubes. The violet glow of a blacklight is not the UV light itself, but visible light that escapes being filtered out by the filter material in the glass envelope. A blacklight, also called a UV-A light, Wood's lamp, or ultraviolet light, is a lamp that emits long-wave ultraviolet light and very little visible light.
Iridescence is caused by wave interference of light in microstructures or thin films. Examples of iridescence include soap bubbles, feathers, butterfly wings and seashell nacre, and minerals such as opal. Pearlescence is a related effect where some or most of the reflected light is white. The term pearlescent is used to describe certain paint ...

Two "black-light" ultraviolet fluorescent tubes. The glass envelopes illustrate the dark blue color of Wood's glass, although these modern tubes actually use another optical filtering material. Wood's glass is an optical filter glass invented in 1903 by American physicist Robert Williams Wood (1868–1955), which allows ultraviolet and infrared ...
