UV has a HIGHER frequency than visible light. If you get such results, either you are not measuring the correct light, or something else is wrong with the measurement.

Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?

Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.


Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?

Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.


What is a low frequency color of visible light?

Red is the lowest. From there, frequencies increase, in the order of the colors of the rainbow, until you reach the highest visible frequency at violet.


What radiation lies at frequencies just below frequency of visible light?

Infrared radiation.


What is extremely low frequency radiation?

Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).


Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?

Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.


What is related to the frequency of a visible light wave?

Its apparent color as perceived by the human visual system. Lower frequencies look redder, while higher frequencies look more bluish or violet. As frequency goes down below the "visible" part of the spectrum, the light becomes "infra-red" or "IR", while higher frequencies above the visible spectrum are called "ultra-violet" or "UV".


Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?

Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.


Does infrared rays have a lower frequencies than visible red light?

Yes, it is lower on the spectrum than red light, which is the lowest visible frequency.


What are the different kinds of electromagnetic waves?

Gamma rays, X - rays, Ultraviolet , visible light , Infra - red, Heat radiation, Microwaves, ultra high frequency , very high radio frequency ,radio frequencies, power frequencies.


The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?

The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.


Which electromagnetic wave has a frequency closest to that of visible light?

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible part has wavelengths of 7000 to 4000 Angstroms. The frequencies are 4.0 - 7.0 x 1014 Hz.
