Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.

Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?

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


What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?

Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.


How are infrared and visible photons different from one another?

IR: longer wavelength, lower frequency, lower energy per photon.Visible: medium wavelength, medium frequency, medium energy per photon.UV: shorter wavelength, higher frequency, higher energy per photon.


Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?

No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.


What is an everyday example showing how heat is absorbed from visible radiation and transferred to infrared radiation?

Infrared Radiation is at a Frequency that is outside of the range of the Visible Spectrum. Visible light does not 'become' Infrared Light. If a light source is giving off energy in the form of HEAT it is emitting Infrared Energy, as well as Visible Light. A light source can also "Heat" matter by giving off energy such as X-Rays, or Gamma Rays, or more commonly MICROWAVE Radiation.


How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?

Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).


How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?

The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.


Does infrared high or low energy?

Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.


What waves are on either side of the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves are on the higher frequency side of the visible spectrum, while infrared (IR) waves are on the lower frequency side. UV waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, while IR waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy.


What has the lowest energy IR UV Visible or X-rays?

Infrared has the lowest energy per photon.Infrared has the lowest energy per photon.Infrared has the lowest energy per photon.Infrared has the lowest energy per photon.


What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?

Infrared light has lower energy compared to visible light. This is because infrared light has longer wavelengths, which correspond to lower frequencies and energies.


Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?

No, concrete does not absorb visible light and re-radiate it as infrared energy. Concrete reflects and scatters visible light, and it absorbs some of the heat energy from sunlight. This absorbed heat can then be released over time as infrared radiation when the concrete cools down.
