Is night vision UV vision?

In: Science, Technology [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. Night Vision equipment uses infra-red (IR) light, wavelengths of light longer (lower frequency) than visible light. Infra="below", red, or light below red light in the spectrum.

UV stands for ultra (above)-violet, light that is above the violet light spectrum, so higher frequency=shorter wavelength.
