"UV" typically stands for Ultraviolet. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye. It is emitted by the sun and can be harmful to human health if overexposed. The UV index is a measure of the strength of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
However, "UV" can also have other meanings, depending on the context. For example, it can stand for:
- U2 Vegas, in reference to the band U2's concert in Las Vegas.
- Unicorn Velociraptor, in reference to the libuv library, a cross-platform asynchronous I/O library.
- Microvolts, in the context of electrical engineering.
- Ultraviolet, in the context of 3D modeling, referring to UV mapping, a process of applying textures to 3D models.
- UHF/VHF, in the context of antennas.
- Ultraviolet, in the context of physics, referring to high-energy photons.
It is important to consider the context to understand the meaning of "UV".
