Which type of rays are visible?

Visible light rays are the only type of rays that are visible to the human eye. Other types of electromagnetic waves like infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are not visible.


What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?

There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.


Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?

This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.

What other forms of radiation may come from stars?

Stars can emit various forms of radiation, including ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Sun-like stars emit primarily visible light and some ultraviolet radiation. More massive stars can also emit X-rays and gamma rays.


Do visible light has the shortest wavelength?

No--ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are progressively shorter.


What is the name of the radiation between visible light and x rays?

The radiation between visible light and x-rays is called ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels than visible light, but lower energy levels than x-rays.


Do ultraviolet rays have short or long wavelengths?

Ultraviolet rays have short wavelengths compared to visible light, ranging from about 10 to 400 nanometers.
