Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).

Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths.
Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?
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.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
How is heat transferrred through space?
Through radiation, like infrared radiation, visible light, etc.
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths.
What are the three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
What are three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
Do infrared photons or visible photons have longer wavelengths?
Visible radiation: 370-750 nm. Infrared radiation: 750 nm-300 μm These wavelenghts are not long.
What radiation lies at frequencies just below frequency of visible light?
Infrared radiation.
What are two types of non visible radiation?
infrared and ultraviolet
What has a wavelength longer then the wavelengths of visible ight?
Infrared radiation.
Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?
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.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Why are infrared radiations used in detecting enemy concentration?
Infrared radiatyion is used in detecting enemy concentrations because Infrared radiation is not visible and in the meantime there are devices that can transfer its pictures and views into visible pictures and views.In the meantime, infrared radiation has no passive impact on personnel dealing with contrary to ultraviolet 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.
