The electromagnetic wave radiation spectrum is large . . . it goes from radio waves to microwaves to light waves to X-Rays and so on.
We can only see the part of this spectrum that we call light waves. The colors of visible light waves runs from red on the low end, through orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
We cannot see light that is lower than red or higher than violet. "Infra" means 'below'. "Infra red" means 'below red'. We can't see infrared or lower.
"Ultra" means 'beyond or above'. "Ultra violet" means 'above violet'. We cannot see ultraviolet or higher.

What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.
What are two kinds of invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
What is the meaning of the word infrared?
Infrared is a wavelength of light. There are other kinds such as microwaves and ultraviolet light. Infrared is a source of radiation because it is just beyond the visible spectrum.
What are the invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet light
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Starburst galaxies are especially bright in visible light ultraviolet light or infrared light?
infrared light
Are Infrared and Ultraviolet Light not visible?
Yes, they are not.
The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.
Glass is transparent to visible light but not to?
Ultraviolet and Infrared.
What are two kinds of invisible light?
Infrared and ultraviolet.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?
infrared light:)
