RAY?
 Johann Wilhelm Ritter
 He is a German chemist, physicist
and philosopher
 He was born in Sanitz near Haynau
in Silesia, and died in Munich
 He was born on December 16, 1776
and died on January 23, 1810
 He is the creator of modern
electrochemistry

 HOW WAS THE UV RAY
DISCOVERED?
In 1801, Johann Ritter conducted an
experiment to investigate the existence of
energy beyond the violet end of the visible
spectrum. Knowing that photographic
paper would turn black more rapidly in
blue light than in red light, he exposed the
paper to light beyond violet. Sure enough,
the paper turned black, proving the
20XX
existence of ultraviolet light.

WHAT IS ULTRAVIOLET RAY OR
UV RAY?
 ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT HAS SHORTER
WAVELENGTHS THAN VISIBLE LIGHT.

 UV RADIATION IS PRESENT IN SUNLIGHT, AND

CONSTITUTES ABOUT 10% OF THE TOTAL
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OUTPUT FROM
THE SUN.

UV RAY FROM THE SUN
The Sun is a source of the full
spectrum of ultraviolet Click icon to add picture
radiation, which is commonly
subdivided into UV-A, UV-B,
and UV-C. These are the
classifications most often used in
Earth sciences.

protein(7-DHC) in the skin,
converting it into vitamin D3,
the active form of vitamin D,
which is essential for
maintaining healthy bones and
teeth.

Sensitive documents such as
credit cards, black notes, and Click icon to add picture
passports include UV watermark
that is only seen under UV
emitting light.

 STERILIZATION OF WATER IN
DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Ultraviolet light disinfection is
one water treatment system that
can be used to remove most
forms of microbiological
contamination from water.
 STERILIZATION OF WATER IN
DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Some washing powder
contains fluorescent chemicals
which glow in sunlight. This
makes your shirt look whiter
than white in daylight.
