The answer depends on "compared to what"? UV wavelengths are shorter than x-rays and longer than microwaves.
Ultraviolet rays have short wavelengths compared to visible light, ranging from about 10 to 400 nanometers.
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
Infrared light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Infrared light ranges from about 700 nm to 1 mm, while ultraviolet light ranges from about 10 nm to 400 nm. Ultraviolet light has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than infrared light.
Infrared light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Infrared light wavelengths range from about 700 nm to 1 mm, while ultraviolet light wavelengths range from about 10 nm to 400 nm.
Short wavelengths are typically associated with high-energy light, such as gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light. These types of light have more frequent oscillations and carry more energy per photon compared to longer wavelengths.
The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
The three types of centered wavelengths of light are ultraviolet, visible, and infrared. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared light has longer wavelengths. The visible spectrum, where light is visible to the human eye, falls between ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.
The bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from short to long wavelengths are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
Violet light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Violet light falls in the range of approximately 380-450 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 380 nanometers. Ultraviolet light is higher in energy and can be harmful to human skin and eyes, while violet light is visible light that we can perceive.
Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.
Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light, such as ultraviolet and gamma rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light, such as radio waves and infrared.
