Quotes About Ultraviolet

The surface of Mars is bathed in ultraviolet light, bathed in radiation. Mars's magnetic field is essentially gone, so the surface of Mars is essentially sterilized.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
Sunspots are hubs of intense magnetic activity and they trigger solar flares that launch charged particles, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation and radio waves at the Earth.
~ Simon Singh
You made me feel gold,flowing too.I love you.Ultraviolet Remarkey-able.
~ Jennifer Niven
WHY DOES QUININE GLOW UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT? Shine a blacklight on a bottle of tonic water and it will glow a bright radioactive blue. The quinine alkaloid is "excited" by ultraviolet light, which means that the electrons absorb the light and take on extra energy, throwing them out of their regular orbit. In order to return to their natural position—their "relaxed" state—they release the energy, causing a bright glow.
~ Amy Stewart
For excellent health and a good skin color, I recommend that people sit next to a shady ultraviolet transmitting window when indoors.
~ Steven Magee
Ultraviolet Remarkey-ably, I think I love you.
~ Jennifer Niven
Ultraviolet Remarkey-able, I think I love you.
~ Jennifer Niven
I am on the highest branch. We are written in paint. I believe in signs. The glow of Ultraviolet. A lake. A prayer. It's so lovely to be lovely in Private.
~ Jennifer Niven
These statistics, and all the various facts about subatomic particles, quanta, neutrinos, and so forth, constitute in effect the infrared and ultraviolet light at either end of the spectrum. They are too big and too small to see, to understand; they are more or less invisible to me though present, and peripheral to me in a real sense because I do not understand even what I can easily see.
~ Annie Dillard
Visible light has a wavelength of between only forty and eighty millionths of a centimeter. Even shorter wavelengths are known as ultraviolet, X rays, and gamma rays. Maxwell's theory predicted that radio or light waves should travel at a certain fixed speed.
~ Stephen Hawking
We can't distinguish between male and female blue tits by sight: blue tits can because the male possesses an ultraviolet crest. Such a bird would find our three-coloured televisions incomprehensibly drab.)
~ Simon Barnes
an atmosphere ultraviolet rays from the sun, even from a weak sun, would have tended to break apart any incipient bonds made by molecules. And yet right there"—she tapped the stromatolites—"you have organisms almost at the surface. It's a puzzle.
~ Bill Bryson
Howard Phillips Lovecraft of Providence, Rhode Island, for cultivating a florid and overblown prose style that covered the entire spectrum from purple to ultraviolet and took sixteen volumes of interminable epistles to get to the point [...]
~ Charles Stross
Like many insects, flies are most sensitive to green light. This means that they would see their world as 'black and white,' in that they can't see the multiple colors required to reconstruct a color image of the world. They do, however, have specialized cells that enable them to see ultraviolet wavelengths.
~ Michael Dickinson
These same oxygen atoms, normally found in pairs (O2), also combined in threes to form ozone (O3) in the upper atmosphere, which serves as a shield that protects Earth's surface from most of the Sun's molecule-hostile ultraviolet photons.
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Filling out the entire electromagnetic spectrum, in order of low-energy and low-frequency to high-energy and high-frequency, we have: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ROYGBIV, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Detecting without seeing was now a scientific reality.
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
air cannot flow out of the room, only in. There they are bathed in blue ultraviolet light, which kills viruses. After that, they tug on
~ Gina Kolata
Ultraviolet light attacks and eliminates Alien Parasites.
~ Laurence Galian
The first year I was at NASA, I was only responsible for optical and ultraviolet astronomy. Frankly, there wasn't much else.
~ Nancy Roman
The best part about Omar was that he wasn't simply a decoy. Surrounding the robot was a grid of ultraviolet and microwave beams. When Loving or his partner, presumably from some distance, took up position and fired the typical three-burst round into Omar's head, empty and inexpensively replaceable, a computer would instantly correlate trajectory, speed and GPS coordinates and indicate on our handhelds where the shooter was, down to three feet. Would
~ Jeffery Deaver
Everything we know about the universe is studied by using telescopes or other instruments that look at visible light, infrared, ultraviolet or X-ray - different wavelengths of electromagnetic interactions. Only 4 percent of what's in the universe gives off electromagnetic radiation, so we don't have any handle on the rest.
~ Barry Barish
In the bathroom two water tumblers were sealed in cellophane sacks with the words: These glasses are sterilized for your protection. Across the toilet seat a strip of paper bore the message: This seat has been sterilized with ultraviolet light for your protection. Everyone was protecting me and it was horrible.
~ John Steinbeck
