Ultraviolet (UV) waves have a higher frequency and greater energy compared to visible light. While visible light frequencies range from approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz), UV waves span frequencies from about 750 THz to several petahertz (PHz). This increased frequency in UV waves translates to higher energy photons, making UV radiation capable of causing chemical reactions, such as those involved in sunburn, which visible light cannot do. Thus, UV radiation is more energetic and more harmful than visible light.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How could you compare the energy carried in two different longitudinal waves?
You can compare the energy carried by two different longitudinal waves by calculating the wave's energy density, which is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. The wave with the higher amplitude will carry more energy. Additionally, the frequency of the waves also affects the energy they carry - waves with higher frequencies carry more energy.
The energy carried by a wave is indicated by its?
normally by its frequency....more the frequency greater is the energy of the wave
Visible light has a frequency range between 7 x 10 to the 4th power and 4 x 10 to the 4th power. Which frequency of light would have the most energy?
Those numbers are very inaccurate for visible light. But it doesn't matter. The rule is that the energy carried by a photon of any electromagnetic radiation is proportional to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the more energy it carries.
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 best definition for the measure of a photons energy?
The measure of a photon's energy is its frequency or equivalently, its wavelength. This is determined by the amount of energy carried by the photon, corresponding to the electromagnetic spectrum as visible light, radio waves or X-rays depending on the energy level.
When the energy carried by high-frequency and low-frequency electromagnetic waves?
Your question makes no sense.
What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?
As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. This means that the energy carried by the wave also increases, as energy is directly proportional to frequency. Therefore, shorter wavelength corresponds to higher frequency and energy in an electromagnetic wave.
The longer the wavelength of light?
The longer the wavelength of light, the smaller its frequency, and the less energy there is for every photon.
What determines the amount of radiant energy that can be carried by an electro magnetic wave?
The amount of radiant energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is determined by the wave's frequency. Higher frequency waves carry more energy compared to lower frequency waves. This relationship is described by Planck's equation, E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the wave.
Compared the frequency and energy carried by uv waves to?
Ultraviolet (UV) waves have higher frequency and carry more energy than visible light waves. UV waves have shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and higher energy levels, which can have both beneficial and harmful effects on living organisms depending on the intensity and exposure.
How are infrared and visible photons different from one another?
IR: longer wavelength, lower frequency, lower energy per photon.Visible: medium wavelength, medium frequency, medium energy per photon.UV: shorter wavelength, higher frequency, higher energy per photon.
