Electromagnetic waves comes in different frequencies; at higher frequencies, the wavelength is shorter. So, X-rays have a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency, and more energy per photon, than infrared light.

Having said that, x-rays are part of the continuum of electromagnetic radiation. They have lower energy than some other radiations and shorter wavelengths than other radiations.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoX-rays have a HIGHER frequency than Infrared rays, but Infrared rays have a LONGER wavelength than X-rays
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, radio waves do have longer wavelengths than X-rays.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoRadio waves are almost the lowest frequency, and x rays have a very high frequency, lower than gamma rays.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoX-rays are much more energetic as witnessed by their much shorter wavelength and their much higher frequency.

What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
What energy does the infrared light give off?
Infrared light doesn't "give off" energy; in this case, it IS the energy.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
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.
Would fluorescent material glow if it was illuminated by infrared light?
Not normally - the idea behind florescence is higher energy light (ultra-violet) powers lower energy light (visible light).
How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
Radiant energy is in the form of?
Infrared light. Heat.
How is ultraviolet light more damaging to cells than infrared light would be?
UV is higher energy than IR and can therefor deposit more energy in cells.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
