Ultraviolet light causes substances to fluoresce and give off visible light.
Explanation: Many biological fluids, certain inks, fibers, and other trace materials absorb UV and re-emit visible light, so using UV lamps makes them visible at a crime scene. The other choices are incorrect: UV doesn't detect radioactivity (Geiger counters do), showing temperatures as blue/red is infrared/thermal imaging, and UV isn't used to send signals to AM/FM radios.
