What energy is ultraviolet rays?
Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.
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.
Which wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
ultraviolet ---novanet :)
Harmful energy that comes from the sun is travelutoil triadiona?
ultraviolet radiation
What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
ultraviolet has more energy.
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
no
Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?
Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
What energy is ultraviolet rays?
Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?
im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.
How is visible radiation different from ultraviolet radiation?
UV radiation carries more energy because it vibrates faster, i.e. it has a shorter wavelength. Because it carries more energy, it can do much more damage than visible light.
Are X-rays less dangerous to health than ultraviolet radiation?
No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.
How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?
Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.
