IR have a longer wavelength and lover frequency. IR are used for thermal imaging- detecting heat and then converting it into an image, so you can find a warm bosy in the dark Toasters TV remotes release bursts of infra red to "tell" the TV what to do UV is used in flourescent lighting, sun beds and security marking

Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?

This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.

Which form of electromagnetic radiation can be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays?

The list of electromagnetic spectrum with an increasing wavelength is given: Gamma rays X rays Ultra violet Visible Infra red Micro waves Radio waves. Now you yourself can pick the needed answer.


Out of radio waves ultra violet rays infra red rays and micro waves which of the radiations has shortest wavelength?

The answer is Ultraviolet Waves. But really the shortest so far found is Gamma Rays. They are a million million million of those Gamma Rays going past you each minute. Ultraviolet rays are shorter than regular light that we see, but not shorter than Gamma Rays.


Does infrared radiation cause burns?

Yes, prolonged exposure to infrared radiation can cause burns. Infrared radiation can penetrate the skin and heat tissues beneath the skin surface, resulting in burns similar to those caused by exposure to heat sources like fire or hot objects.


X-rays are a type of what radiation?

X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet light but longer than gamma rays. They are commonly used in medical imaging to visualize the inside of the body.


What is the difference between light rays and heat radation?

Light rays are visible and have higher frequency compared to that of heat radiation Heat radiation is nothing but infra red which is not visible to human eyes. They have longer wavelength compared to that of visible light


What type of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?

You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.
