Black Light

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

A black light, also known as a UV or ultraviolet light, is a type of light that emits primarily ultraviolet radiation. These lights are often used in forensic science, art conservation, and in the entertainment industry for special effects. Black lights can also be used to detect certain types of stains or materials, such as urine or certain types of inks.
