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.

Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?
No, Infra-red has a longer wavelength than Ultraviolet.
What is the length of an ultraviolet wavelength compared to an x-ray wavelength?
The wavelength of the x-ray is shorter.
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.
Does the intensity of infrared waves emitted by the Sun change as the wavelength of the ultraviolet waves increases?
yes
Word for having shorter than visible wavelength?
Longer than visiblie wavelength is Infrared. Shorther than visible wavelength is ultraviolet. Asking for answers here to the Guardian crossword is cheating. ;o)
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
How does the wavelength of infrared compare with the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Infra red have longer wavelength compared to ultra violet.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?
No, Infra-red has a longer wavelength than Ultraviolet.
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
What is the length of an ultraviolet wavelength compared to an x-ray wavelength?
The wavelength of the x-ray is shorter.
What has the shorter wavelength ultraviolet or infrared?
The infrared (IR) radiation has a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The former is below the visible spectrum, and the latter is above that visible (sometimes called optical) spectrum. However, IR radiation does not have the longest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. That would be the Radio Waves. Additionally,: The prefix Infra- suggests "standing under, sub-, inferior to" (IR: Standing under Red light waves) The prefix Ultra- suggests "standing beyond" Violet light waves
Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
