Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.
What are the three types of radiation you get from the sun?
Ultra violet Infrared Visible light.....i think
What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Can heat energy also be light energy?
Yes. Heat energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation, like infrared Radiation.
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.
What does invisible infrared radiation mean?
Infrared radiation is a form of energy with wavelengths that are longer than red light. You can look up pictures of a Light Waves Spectrum to find out the length of red light. infrared radiation is invisible, but can be felt as heat.
Is solar energy kinetic?
No, it is radiation in the form of light and heat (infrared)
Does fluorescent material glow under infrared light?
No fluorescent material glows under ultraviolet not infrared
When helium is produced the sun releases energy as?
Light and Infrared Radiation (Heat)
What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
