How does the wavelength of infrared compare with the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?

Infra red have longer wavelength compared to ultra violet.


Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?

Longer.


How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?

Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.


Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?

Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.


Does the intensity of infrared waves emitted by the Sun change as the wavelength of the ultraviolet waves increases?

yes


What has the shorter wavelength ultraviolet or infrared?

The infrared (IR) radiation has a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The former is below the visible spectrum, and the latter is above that visible (sometimes called optical) spectrum. However, IR radiation does not have the longest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. That would be the Radio Waves. Additionally,: The prefix Infra- suggests "standing under, sub-, inferior to" (IR: Standing under Red light waves) The prefix Ultra- suggests "standing beyond" Violet light waves


Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?

Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.


What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?

X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.


The electromagnetic spectrum arranges waves in order of?

Radio, microwaves, infrared,visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays, and gamma rays.


Order the types of waves from lowest frequency and wavelength to the highest?

There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?

X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.


Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
