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.

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.

Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?

In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.


Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?

Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

ultraviolet has more energy.


The frequency of visible light falls between that of?

Ultraviolet and the infrared.


What is the differences between visible and invible radiation?

Radiations within the range of 200 - 400nm are Visible Radiations. And others out of this range are invisible radiations.


What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

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


What wave has wave lenghts between infrared and ultraviolet waves?

Visible light.


What is the difference between infrared light and visible light ultraviolet light?

The difference is their wavelengths.


What is difference between rays and radiations?

Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.


What is the difference between ultraviolet and infrared lights?

Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).


What are the differences between ultraviolet light and visible light?

ultra violet is stronger


What two lights can't we see?

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.
