The film stars Milla Jovovich as Violet Song, Cameron Bright as Six, and Nick Chinlund as Ferdinand Daxus. It was released in North America on March 3, 2006, and was a critical and commercial failure.
Ultraviolet radiation, also known as simply UV, is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.
Scarlett Estevez as Violet Rodriguez / Ultra Violet, [1] a 13-year-old girl who gets chosen by a magical Luchador mask that transforms her into a superhero with super-speed; J.R. Villarreal as Cruz De la Vega / Black Scorpion, [1] Violet's maternal uncle and superhero mentor who owns a wrestling gym and fights crime in secret where he possesses super-strength and the ability to teleport ...
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.

Spektr-UV, also known as World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSO-UV), is a proposed ultraviolet space telescope intended for work in the 115 nm to 315 nm wavelength range. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is an international project led by Russia (Roscosmos), with participation from Spain and Japan.
The term ultraviolet refers to the fact that the radiation is at higher frequency than violet light (and, hence, also invisible to the human eye). Due to absorption by the atmosphere very little reaches Earth's surface. This spectrum of radiation has germicidal properties, as used in germicidal lamps. Ultraviolet B or (UVB) range spans 280 to ...
Ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure is the primary cause of skin cancer. [65] [66] Thus, at UV frequencies and higher, electromagnetic radiation does more damage to biological systems than simple heating predicts. This is most obvious in the "far" (or "extreme") ultraviolet.
