Type of radiant energy is invisible to humans?
-- radio -- heat -- infrared -- ultraviolet -- microwave -- X-rays -- gamma rays -- cosmic rays
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
Does infrared have more frequency than than ultraviolet?
no it doesn't because infa red is about the same watt level and ultraviolet does not radiate a whole lot of heat so they are even exept that ghost hunters like to use infa red
What materials radiate heat?
All materials radiate heat equivalent to their temperature above absolute zero.This heat is called "black body" radiation. When the peak of the "black body" radiation from a material is in the infrared band we perceive it as heat, but the radiation is always radiant heat regardless of whether it peak is in the radio band, infrared band, visible band, ultraviolet band, x-ray band, etc.
What is selectivity in glass?
Selectivity is the optical property of glass (or other materials) which allow to pass a large part of visible light, but reflects or absorbs a large part of non-visible light (such as ultraviolet and infrared). This is a good feature for buildings since, sometimes, we want more daylight to go through the windows but we do not want heat to get in the building. It is important to mention that ultraviolet and infrared light (or energy) carries heat but not illumination (or visible light).
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.
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?
In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
What type of energy being carried by an infrared wave?
Infrared waves produce heat when the interact with normal matter, so most people would say they carry heat. In fact, infrared radiation is electromagnetic energy, as are ultraviolet, visible light, radio waves and others.

What type of invisible radiation from space can be detected from earth?
Long wave radio, short wave radio, microwave radio, heat, far infrared, near infrared, ultraviolet UV-A, ultraviolet UV-B, high energy X-rays, high energy gamma rays.
Radio waves visible light from the sun infrared rays from the heat lamps the waves that heat food in a microwaveoven ultraviolet rays and x-rays are all considered types of?
plasmas
What are all of the types of lighting?
It is the spectrum of light. There is infrared, ultraviolet(UV), cosmic and gamma rays, heat, and radio waves. Hope that answered your question.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.

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.
