I heard uv light kills covid-19. is there a specific light spectrum that can kill the virus?

Not sure: Killing a virus is difficult. Uvc light can affect genetic material, unfortunately most is blocked out by the ozone level. I would be more concerned about damage to my skin. So not likely but may have an effect on aerosol particles.
