The infrared (IR) radiation has a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The former is below the visible spectrum, and the latter is above that visible (sometimes called optical) spectrum.
However, IR radiation does not have the longest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. That would be the Radio Waves.
Additionally,:
The prefix Infra- suggests "standing under, sub-, inferior to" (IR: Standing under Red light waves)
The prefix Ultra- suggests "standing beyond" Violet light waves

Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?
No, Infra-red has a longer wavelength than Ultraviolet.
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?
Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Does red or violet have the shortest wavelength?
Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than red, green, or infrared light.
Word for having shorter than visible wavelength?
Longer than visiblie wavelength is Infrared. Shorther than visible wavelength is ultraviolet. Asking for answers here to the Guardian crossword is cheating. ;o)
Can infrared cause cancer?
Yes it can cause cancer if in infrared light for long time.
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.
How does the wavelength of infrared compare with the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Infra red have longer wavelength compared to ultra violet.
Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than infrared rays?
Yes. The wavelength of radiation is w=hc/Energy. Gamma energy is larger than infrared energy, thus has shorter wavelength.
