Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No. Gamma rays have a high frequency, and a short wavelength.
Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?
UV waves are shorter than infrared waves.
What are the differences between uv rays electromagnetic rays and infrared rays?
UV rays have shorter wavelength (higher frequency) than infrared rays.Both of them are examples of a whole bunch of different kinds of rays called electromagnetic 'radiation'.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges waves in order of?
Radio, microwaves, infrared,visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays, and gamma rays.
Does blue or violet light have a long wavelength?
No. Some are longer trhan others, but they are all very short. Light visible to the human eye has wavelengths ranging from a little more than 100 micrometers (infrared) to less than 1 nanometers (ultraviolet). In reference to visible light, infrared is referred to as long wavelength and ultraviolet as short wavelength light. I can't remember the units, but the human visible area is from about 400 (deep blue) to 700 (red), so a rather more restricted range than implied above. All those wavelengths are indeed very short.
Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than infrared rays?
Yes. The wavelength of radiation is w=hc/Energy. Gamma energy is larger than infrared energy, thus has shorter wavelength.
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?
No, Infra-red has a longer wavelength than Ultraviolet.
What is the difference between Infrared and X rays?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No. Gamma rays have a high frequency, and a short wavelength.
Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?
UV waves are shorter than infrared waves.
Can infrared cause cancer?
Yes it can cause cancer if in infrared light for long time.
What are the differences between uv rays electromagnetic rays and infrared rays?
UV rays have shorter wavelength (higher frequency) than infrared rays.Both of them are examples of a whole bunch of different kinds of rays called electromagnetic 'radiation'.
Would X-rays or infrared light have more energy?
Electromagnetic waves comes in different frequencies; at higher frequencies, the wavelength is shorter. So, X-rays have a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency, and more energy per photon, than infrared light.
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.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges waves in order of?
Radio, microwaves, infrared,visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays, and gamma rays.
What is difference between rays and radiations?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared with the wavelength of ultraviolet?
Infrared waves have lower frequency and longer wavelengths than X-rays. They are both transverse waves, travel at the same speed in vacuum (3 x 108 ms-1) and do not require a material medium for their transmission. Infrared is non-ionizing, x-rays are ionizing.
