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

Longer.


Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible rays?

Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.


Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths than visible lights?

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.


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.

Do radio wave microwave and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths 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.


Which property spells the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.


How are infrared waves waves samilar to ultraviolet waves?

They're exactly the same thing, except that they're longer.


What is next to ultraviolet in the light spectrum?

Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.


How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?
