What are infra red rays?
== == Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
How does infrared light reflect off objects?
Infrared radiation or light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and acts the same as visible light does.Infrared can be absorbed and reflected by objects much the same way as visible light. More on Infrared:Some black objects that absorb visible light radiation may reflect infrared.Much of the absorbed visible light energy is re-emitted as infrared up to many hours later.There are subcategories of infrared, two common ones are near-infrared and far-infrared. Near being closer to visible light.
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
What are the most visible electromagnetic waves on earth?
See the related question. The Infrared black body radiation is emitted by the Earth.
What EM waves are emitted by fire?
Light (visible) and heat (infrared)

How are ultraviolet infrared and visible light the same?
All of them are electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves bordering on one side of the visible band are?
Infrared/ Ultravilote
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength slightly longer than the visible light?
infrared
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wavelength in between infrared and uv?
Visible light.
What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?
infrared
What is an electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range including infrared visible ultraviolet and x-ray?
Blue light is in the visible wavelength range.
