Ultraviolet light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is invisible to the human eye because its wave lengths are too short. The way UV light goes about its sanitising is to break down the DNA of bacteria and the RNA of viruses. Sufficient doses will prevent the organising from repairing itself, and it cannot replicate. Ultraviolet light is also known to oxidise and eliminate organic material and green, black and brown algae.
