∙ 10y agoThe disadvantage are that it can cause skin cancer if you are exposed to sufficient amounts of UV light (in particular, UV-B and UV-C light).
See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer for more information about that: "How do UV-B rays affect people?"
One of the beneficial uses of UV light are that it can be used to kill bacteria and other microbes. It is commonly used to purify water for instance or clean things. UV light can also be used for a variety of other of application, such as black lights (which just look cool!). Also many compounds fluoresce (they emit light) when exposed to UV light. This is how forensic scientists can find traces of blood and other bodily fluids at crime scenes for instance. Finally exposure to some UV-B light causes the body to make Vitamin D, an important nutrient. While some exposure is important too much will cause sunburns and possibly cancer.

∙ 10y agoUltraviolet telescopes are the only form of telescope able to detect the dark-side of the moon
Ultraviolet also release alot of radiation and can give the scientists a sun-tan
Mountaintops are ideal for near-infrared telescopes because the high altitude reduces atmospheric interference and light pollution. Ultraviolet telescopes are placed in Earth orbit to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by Earth's atmosphere, which allows for clearer observations of objects emitting in the ultraviolet spectrum.
Advantages of X-ray telescopes include the ability to capture high-energy emissions from objects such as black holes and neutron stars, providing valuable information about these phenomena. However, X-ray telescopes are limited by Earth's atmosphere, which absorbs X-rays, necessitating the need for them to be placed in space. Additionally, X-ray telescopes tend to have lower resolution compared to optical telescopes.
Some disadvantages of telescopes include limited field of view, susceptibility to atmospheric conditions such as turbulence and light pollution, and the need for regular maintenance and calibration to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, high-quality telescopes can be expensive and may require specialized expertise to operate effectively.

X-ray telescopes collect the X-rays that are emitted from the sun, stars, and super novas in space using a series of curved lenses and an electronic eye.
Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes

Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.
