Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?

Answer 1

Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red

So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.

Answer 2

Both are electromagnetic radiation, and travel at the same speed in any given medium.

But the wavelength of ultraviolet light is shorter than the wavelength of visible light,

and each ultraviolet photon carries more energy than any visible photon.

Answer 3

Visible light, ultraviolet rays, and X-rays are all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and travel at the same speed. Humans can see visible light, but not ultraviolet rays or X-rays. Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and higher energy than visible light. X-rays have shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and higher energy than ultraviolet rays.

This means that ultra violet and x-rays can do far more damage to our flesh than light can.

Answer 4

Ultraviolet radiation has higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.

Answer 5

Ultraviolet light has more energy than visible light does. Ultraviolet light is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 400 nm to 10 nm, shorter than that of visible light.

Answer 6

Only in their wavelength (frequency). Their waves are shorter than
violent ones, which are the shortest to which our eyes respond.

Answer 7

because of the wavelength
