No, infrared radiation (IR) does not have a higher frequency than visible light. Visible light is above IR on the electromagnetic spectrum. It (visible light) has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than IR radiation does.

Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?

higher


Which has greater energy a quantum of yellow light or a quantum of violet light?

Violet light has greater energy because it has higher frequency than yellow light


Is night vision UV vision?

No. Night Vision equipment uses infra-red (IR) light, wavelengths of light longer (lower frequency) than visible light. Infra="below", red, or light below red light in the spectrum. UV stands for ultra (above)-violet, light that is above the violet light spectrum, so higher frequency=shorter wavelength.


Light waves move at a higher frequency than?

Visible light has higher frequency than that of infra red radiations. The order of electro magnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency are as follows: Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, ROY G BIV (visible region), ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma ray.


Which has a lower frequency yellow light or blue light?

Yellow light has the lower frequency.


What is the difference between a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light?

A photon of yellow light has lower frequency that a photon of violet light. Remember that light can be considered both as particles (photons) and as waves. So when saying a photon has higher frequencie, its actually the wave part of the light that has a higher frequency.


What has higher frequency yellow light or blue light?

Many find the pnemonic ROY G BIV helpful.It represents Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.Red has the lowest frequency, and Violet has the highest frequency.Therefore, blue light is more energetic, representing a frequency of about 6.38*1014 Hz (470nm).Yellow light has a frequency of about 5.17*1014 Hz (580nm).So blue light has a higher frequency than yellow light.


Are uv and infra red light visible?

"UV" (ultra-violet) is radiation with shorter wavelength/higher frequency than visible. Infrared is radiation with longer wavelength/lower frequency than visible.


Does yellow light have a greater frequency than green light?

Orange has a longer wavelength than yellow. On the spectrum of visible light red is longest and violet is shortest.


Does ultraviolet light have a lower frequency than visible light?

No, "infra" means below, "ultra" means above. Infra red light is below red and ultra violet is above violet light.


Which light has a lower frequency than an infra-red radiation?

Microwaves and radio waves.


Is the frequency of blue light higher or lower than violet light?

Indigo has a higher frequency..
