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 higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?
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). See related links.
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.
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.
Which color has a higher frequency?
In the visible-light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, frequencies are lowest near red light (approaching infrared waves) and highest near violet light (approaching ultraviolet rays).
Light waves move at a higher frequency than?
Visible light has higher frequency than that of infra red radiations. The order of electro magnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency are as follows: Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, ROY G BIV (visible region), ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma ray.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.

The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
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.
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.
Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?
infrared light:)
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.
Can infrared cause cancer?
Yes it can cause cancer if in infrared light for long time.
Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?
From the items on that list, infrared light has the lowest frequency, and X-rays have the highest.
Visable light has a higher frequency than?
Infrared light.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
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.
