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).
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.
Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?
No, infrared radiation (IR) does not have a higher frequency than visible light. Visible light is above IR on the electromagnetic spectrum. It (visible light) has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than IR radiation does.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?
infrared

What are the three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
What are three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
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.
What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
What radiation lies at frequencies just below frequency of visible light?
Infrared radiation.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Infrared radiation has a wavelength slightly longer than?
Visible Light
What is calorescence?
Calorescence is the absorption of infrared radiation and emission of visible light.
Infrared light is what?
It is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light.
