Visible radiation (a.k.a. light) is the wavelengths we can see. Infrared radiation lies down below the red end of the spectrum that we can see, hence infra red. But we can make device that both generate and detect infra red radiation. Your TV control works this way.

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.
What Electromagnetic Radiation has lower frequency than the red of visible light?
The closest is infrared radiation.
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.
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
Does infred waves have the same wavelength as visible light waves?
Infrared radiation is not visible. Its wavelength is longer than red.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths.
How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
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).
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.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
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.
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.
