Ultra violet photons would have more energy as E = h f. Here f is frequency. UV has comparatively higher wavelength compared to that of light. Hence becoming harmful to skin

Does visible light have high or low energy?

"High" and "low" only have meaning when they're compared to something. Visible light has high energy compared to radio waves, and low energy compared to X-rays.


Difference between infrared waves and red light waves?

Infrared waves have longer wavelengths compared to red light waves. The wavelengths of infrared waves are too long for the naked eye to see, while red light waves can be seen as part of visible light.


Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?

Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.


What is the link between radio waves and visible light?

Both are electromagnetic waves travelling at a speed about 300,000 km in one second in free space or in air medium. But radio waves have longer wavelength compared to that of light waves.


Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?

Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.


Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).
