Which form of energy are x ray and ultraviolet light?
Heat
What is waves that are very long and do not have much light energy?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves that are more energetic than visible light.
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.
What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
ultraviolet has more energy.
Does an infrared have have more or less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
Infrared waves have far less energy than ultraviolet, being much further down the spectrum.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?
Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.
How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?
Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
What is the difference between the energy of ultra violet light and the energy visible light?
Ultraviolet light has a greater energy per photon.
Which form of energy are x ray and ultraviolet light?
Heat
Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?
Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.
How do atom put off ultraviolet light?
An atom could put off ultraviolet light if it was excited by ultraviolet light at the appropriate energy level. Atoms emit light when they are hit with the exact energy of photon to promote electrons to higher orbitals. The light is emitted as the electron drops back to its ground state.
What kind of energy is used to disinfect beddings?
Probably ultraviolet light. Not nuclear energy!
What is waves that are very long and do not have much light energy?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves that are more energetic than visible light.
Why is it when sodium was irradiated for 2 seconds with infrared light no electrons were rejected but when it was irradiated with ultraviolet light thousands of electrons were emitted?
Much shorter wavelength in UV light, hence much greater energy.
What type of energy such as ultraviolet ration travels and the forms of waves?
Electromagnetic or light energy - radiant energy
