UV <a href="/wiki/Radiation" title="Radiation">radiation</a> is present in <a href="/wiki/Sunlight" title="Sunlight">sunlight</a>, and constitutes about 10% of the total <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetism" title="Electromagnetism">electromagnetic</a> radiation output from the Sun. It is also produced by <a href="/wiki/Electric_arc" title="Electric arc">electric arcs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation" title="Cherenkov radiation">Cherenkov radiation</a>, and specialized lights, such as <a href="/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp" title="Mercury-vapor lamp">mercury-vapor lamps</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tanning_lamp" title="Tanning lamp">tanning lamps</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Black_light" class="mw-redirect" title="Black light">black lights</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Photon" title="Photon">photons</a> of ultraviolet have greater energy than those of visible light, from about 3.1 to 12 <a href="/wiki/Electron_volt" class="mw-redirect" title="Electron volt">electron volts</a>, around the minimum energy required to <a href="/wiki/Ionize" class="mw-redirect" title="Ionize">ionize</a> <a href="/wiki/Atom" title="Atom">atoms</a>.

Many practical applications, including chemical and biological effects, are derived from the way that UV radiation can interact with organic molecules. These interactions can involve <a href="/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic_radiation)" title="Absorption (electromagnetic radiation)">absorption</a> or adjusting energy states in molecules, but do not necessarily involve heating.

Ultraviolet has a higher frequency (thus a shorter wavelength) than violet light. UV radiation was discovered in February 1801 when the German physicist <a href="/wiki/Johann_Wilhelm_Ritter" title="Johann Wilhelm Ritter">Johann Wilhelm Ritter</a> observed that invisible rays just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum darkened <a href="/wiki/Silver_chloride" title="Silver chloride">silver chloride</a>-soaked paper more quickly than violet light itself.

Many approaches seek to adapt visible light-sensing devices, but these can suffer from unwanted response to visible light and various instabilities. Ultraviolet can be detected by suitable <a href="/wiki/Photodiode" title="Photodiode">photodiodes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Photocathode" title="Photocathode">photocathodes</a>, which can be tailored to be sensitive to different parts of the UV spectrum. Sensitive UV <a href="/wiki/Photomultiplier" title="Photomultiplier">photomultipliers</a> are available. <a href="/wiki/Spectrometer" title="Spectrometer">Spectrometers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Radiometer" title="Radiometer">radiometers</a> are made for measurement of UV radiation. Silicon detectors are used across the spectrum.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Vacuum UV, or VUV, wavelengths (shorter than 200 nm) are strongly absorbed by molecular <a href="/wiki/Oxygen" title="Oxygen">oxygen</a> in the air, though the longer wavelengths around 150–200 nm can propagate through <a href="/wiki/Nitrogen" title="Nitrogen">nitrogen</a>. Scientific instruments can, therefore, use this spectral range by operating in an oxygen-free atmosphere (pure nitrogen, or <a href="/wiki/Argon" title="Argon">argon</a> for shorter wavelengths), without the need for costly vacuum chambers. Significant examples include 193-nm <a href="/wiki/Photolithography" title="Photolithography">photolithography</a> equipment (for <a href="/wiki/Semiconductor_manufacturing" class="mw-redirect" title="Semiconductor manufacturing">semiconductor manufacturing</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Circular_dichroism" title="Circular dichroism">circular dichroism</a> spectrometers.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Technology for VUV instrumentation was largely driven by solar astronomy for many decades. While optics can be used to remove unwanted visible light that contaminates the VUV, in general, detectors can be limited by their response to non-VUV radiation, and the development of <a href="/wiki/Solar-blind_technology" title="Solar-blind technology">solar-blind devices</a> has been an important area of research. Wide-gap solid-state devices or vacuum devices with high-cutoff photocathodes can be attractive compared to silicon diodes.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Extreme UV (EUV or sometimes XUV) is characterized by a transition in the physics of interaction with matter. Wavelengths longer than about 30 nm interact mainly with the outer <a href="/wiki/Valence_electron" title="Valence electron">valence electrons</a> of atoms, while wavelengths shorter than that interact mainly with inner-shell electrons and nuclei. The long end of the EUV spectrum is set by a prominent He+ spectral line at 30.4 nm. EUV is strongly absorbed by most known materials, but synthesizing <a href="/wiki/Multilayer_optics" class="mw-redirect" title="Multilayer optics">multilayer optics</a> that reflect up to about 50% of EUV radiation at <a href="/wiki/Normal_incidence" class="mw-redirect" title="Normal incidence">normal incidence</a> is possible.
