Frequencies and wavelengths (APEX)
Even though you decided not to share the list of choices that you have, I'll stick my
neck out and take a guess anyway: Their differences are completely accounted for
by their different frequencies or wavelengths.
UV = shorter wavelength; Infra-red=longer wavelength.
energy of photon is E=hf, where f = frequency and h= a constant
now, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so UV light photons have more energy than infra-red photons.
Its worth noting that both these types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation.
Microwaves, visible light and X-rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. They differ in frequency, wavelength and in energy. The three are listed in order from lowest frequency to highest. Further, the highest frequencies have the shortest wavelengths, and the highest energies.
The only two differences are in their frequencies and wavelengths. Both Ultraviolet radiation and Infrared radiation are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum so generally have the same properties. The Infrared radiation has a frequency of 1012 to 1014 Hz and a wavelength of 1000 micrometer to 10 micrometer whereas the ultraviolet radiation has a frequency of 1016 to 1017 Hz and a wavelength of 100 nanometers to 10 nanometers.
A. Wavelength B. Frequency
The wavelengths are different which translates into different energies. X-rays can pass through you, visible light can only do that to a minor extent.
Wavelength, Frequency or Energy
The difference is their wavelengths.
In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
Wavelenghts of visible light: 390-780 nm (after CIE).
No, the wavelengths are between visible light(around 400-600nm i guess)with the exception of the wavelength of green light.
Visible light is divided into 6 subdivisions. They are divided into the 6 colors of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue & violet. Indigo isn't colored a shade of the rainbow because of the fact people cannot differentiate between blue and violet. [Before visible light on the EM chart is infrared & afterward is ultraviolet] [Especially if you insist on listing colors in the order of decreasing wavelength. Otherwise, ultraviolet comes before infrared.]
In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
ultraviolet has more energy.
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
Radiations within the range of 200 - 400nm are Visible Radiations. And others out of this range are invisible radiations.
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
Visible light.
The difference is their wavelengths.
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).
ultra violet is stronger
Ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths are invisible to the naked (human) eye. cw: Yes, in general, you can't see light with higher energy than violet or lower than red. On the low end, that energy level starts with infrared. On the high side, that energy level starts with ultraviolet. Between is the visible light spectrum.
