The electromagnetic wave radiation spectrum is large . . . it goes from radio waves to microwaves to light waves to X-Rays and so on.
We can only see the part of this spectrum that we call light waves. The colors of visible light waves runs from red on the low end, through orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
We cannot see light that is lower than red or higher than violet. "Infra" means 'below'. "Infra red" means 'below red'. We can't see infrared or lower.
"Ultra" means 'beyond or above'. "Ultra violet" means 'above violet'. We cannot see ultraviolet or higher.

Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?
Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light.
What is the opposite of ultraviolet light?
The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
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 are two kinds of invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet.
What are the invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet light
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are forms of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the human eye. They both have wavelengths outside the visible light spectrum, with infrared having longer wavelengths and lower energy, while ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths and higher energy. Both types of radiation are used in various scientific applications, such as spectroscopy and imaging.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Starburst galaxies are especially bright in visible light ultraviolet light or infrared light?
infrared light
Are Infrared and Ultraviolet Light not visible?
Yes, they are not.
The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
The frequency of visible light falls between ultraviolet and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
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 are two kinds of invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light.
Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?
infrared light:)
What is the difference between infrared light and visible light ultraviolet light?
The difference is their wavelengths.
