Ultraviolet rays can be used as for fluorescent lamps as certain chemicals glow when they absorb ultraviolet.

In fluorescent lamps, the sindide of the tube is coated with a white powder that gives off light when it absorbs ultraviolet. The ultraviolet is produced by passing a current through a gas in the tube.
