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

What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
Which has the lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves radio waves visible light or gamma rays?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
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.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
How are infrared and visible photons different from one another?
IR: longer wavelength, lower frequency, lower energy per photon.Visible: medium wavelength, medium frequency, medium energy per photon.UV: shorter wavelength, higher frequency, higher energy per photon.
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 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.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
Which has the lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves radio waves visible light or gamma rays?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Transfer of energy from the sun to earth's surface?
That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.
