∙ 15y agoinfrared is one of therays emited by the sun. If it is not there the temperature would drop by 30 centegrades. red light is visible but does not provide heat. Infrared light is not visible but emits heat. infrared is one of therays emited by the sun.

∙ 10y agoInfrared radiation has a slightly longer wavelength than visible light. The name "infrared" means less than red, and it is just beyond visible red light, on the spectrum. The wavelength is longer, but the frequency is lower, which is where the "less than" comes from. It is also less energetic. The energy content of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to the frequency.

∙ 12y agoWell They are both caused by highly energetic electromagnetic waves . Secondly they are both very harmful to living matter. that's all from me
I THINK IT IS Wrong they are alike cause these are eletromagnetic radiation but they both are not harmfull just ultra voilet are harmfull i-e laser, x-ray. but infra red are not harmfull i-e microfones , ovens and etc.

∙ 7y agoVisible light and infrared are both electromagnetic radiation (or waves).Heat energy MAY be transferred in the form of electromagnetic radiation - but it can also be transported via conduction or convection - and it may just "be there", without being transported at all.
About the only thing they all have in common is that they are different types of energy.

∙ 13y agoYes. The word light and the word electromagnetic radiation are interchangeable terms.

∙ 13y agoIdentical except the wavelengths are different

∙ 11y agoUltrasound is a pressure wave, infrared is a light wave. They are both waves.

What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?
infrared
What is infared radiation?
A type of energy with wavelengths longer than visible light.
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
Light 489 nm Where is this on the electromagnetic spectrum If it is visible light what color Another laser a diode laser emits light 987 nm Where is this on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light at 489 nanometers is in the blue area of the spectrum. Use the link below for more information.
How do we see color in the electromagnetic spectrum of light including ultraviolet infared radiation visible light x rays and gama rays how do we see this light and even colo?
an underwater animal usually has gills or is adapted to swimming, and a land animal usually has fur and has lungs like a human.
What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?
infrared
Is a infrared a type of light?
Infared is a type of light that is not visible to the human eye.
What is infared radiation?
A type of energy with wavelengths longer than visible light.
Does infared light have a higher frequency than visible light?
No. Infrared light has a lower frequency than visible light. Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
What are the three radiation that comes from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
What are the kind of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What are the seven kinds of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
What is infared light?
It's a wavelength of light which is outside the visual spectrum.
What has longer wavelength radio waves or visible light?
Neither is nesesarily longer a wave can go on forever. Visible light is more reflective than infared light so it will last longer. If you are talking about wavelength, infared lights wavelength is longer.
Why is the blue star hotter?
When a star is blue it means it is putting out light mostly in the ultraviolet spectrum which is of a higher energy than infared light, or light in the visible spectrum. This means the star has more energy and heat.
