If I make a costume that emmits invisible light, like gamma rays, ulraviolet light and other lights that cannot be seen by the human eye. Do you think it would work? If I somehow manage to make a costume made of spandex and apply hundreds of light emmiters all around it that emmit that type of light. unseen to the eye. I think it would work, I wouldn't become invisible, but you wouldn't be able to see me because all you would see if a shadow or maybe nothing. I don't know yet, I could totally become invisible to the human eye. Just think even a suit made of all natural white light almost would make me invisible. what do you all think?

An invisibility costume? no it will definitely won't work. What you will only succeed at doing is emitting light rays that don't just make you invisible but has the potential to create temporary blindness, and with prolong exposure;permanent blindness. What you will accomplish can be illustrated with a simple experiment with an halogen lamp. Imagine if i enter a dark room with a gloowing halogen lamp and you are in that room i will definitely appear invisible before you.
But if i might suggest, your invisibility costume should rather be made of specially designed optical glass, designed with special internal coating which must also be invisible coating,so that light does't penitrate it. Of course the glass should be invisible to the eye. I know this is possible.

I am afraid that your concept is flawed on a basic level. What we see is either reflected light from surfaces or emitted light from some form of luminescent object, such as the emitters you mentioned. Now, the first thing to note is that your physical presence blocks the reflected light from behind you reaching the eye of the observer, so you would be defined to that observer by that very lack. Second, any light outside of the visible spectrum would not be detected by the observer, but that would not eliminate what ever visible light reflected by whatever you were wearing. So you would not be invisible at all. Sorry, but no dice

My answer is no it won't work. If the light is invisible to the human eye, then we won't see anything except for what's behind the light. you.
Oh, and the next one has a point.

well it is just like wearing an invisible dress.... u urself said that if that dress is made of light emmitters which cannot be seen that means that the dress is invisible, but Dress being invisible will not stop you to be seen.......????
