The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?
No, Infra-red has a longer wavelength than Ultraviolet.
Which radiation energy from the sun can damage an organism?
Microwaves <><><><><> Ultraviolet, infrared, gamma.
Is infrared radiation more energetic than visible radiation?
No. Infrared (IR) light is longer wavelength (lower frequency) light and is of lower electromagnetic energy than shorter wavelength (higher frequency) ultraviolet (UV) light. Note that our skin "senses" infrared light (which we normally think of as heat) in a different way than it does ultraviolet light. This may account for the difference in the way it "feels" when we're exposed to light of the two energies. To be clear, ultraviolet light has higher energy photon for photon than infrared light. If both are absorbed by the skin, the reaction of the skin will be slightly different, but the energy imparted to the skin will be greater with the UV light that the IR light.
Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?
The primary infrared blocker, water vapor, is mostly in the lower atmosphere and the primary ultraviolet blocker, ozone, is located high in the atmosphere, far above mountaintops.
Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?
Ultraviolet
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
What is the opposite of ultraviolet?
infrared
What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
ultraviolet has more energy.
The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
Which is the wavelenght that is nicknamed heat wave infrared or ultraviolet?
Heat is infrared radiation.
Are Infrared and Ultraviolet Light not visible?
Yes, they are not.
What are the invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet light
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
