Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength).
Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength).

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.
Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?
Ultraviolet
What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation and what is called ultraviolet light?
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
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.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
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.
Who has a higher frequency infrared or ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet rays have higher frequency (1 x 1016 to 8 x 1014 hertz) than the infrared rays(4 x 1014 to 1 x 1013 hertz).
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?
Ultraviolet
The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
The electromagnetic waves on one side of the visable band are called?
The lower frequency waves are infrared, the higher ones are ultraviolet.
What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?
Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.
What is the Differential of ultraviolet ray from infrared ray?
Ultraviolet rays have more energy and a higher frequency, while an Infrared ray is essentially heat, which has less radiation, and a longer wavelength. Also, they are located lower of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Is infrared radiation more energetic than visible radiation?
No. Infrared (IR) light is longer wavelength (lower frequency) light and is of lower electromagnetic energy than shorter wavelength (higher frequency) ultraviolet (UV) light. Note that our skin "senses" infrared light (which we normally think of as heat) in a different way than it does ultraviolet light. This may account for the difference in the way it "feels" when we're exposed to light of the two energies. To be clear, ultraviolet light has higher energy photon for photon than infrared light. If both are absorbed by the skin, the reaction of the skin will be slightly different, but the energy imparted to the skin will be greater with the UV light that the IR light.
Can infrared cause cancer?
Yes it can cause cancer if in infrared light for long time.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
