The best answer I can think of is "gauge particle." "Speed in a vacuum" is another possibility. The below, while true, does not really answer the question asked. ---- First, I have to explain radiation. Radiation consists of three types: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha radiation is destructive and is comprised of a helium nuclei, or two protons and two neutrons. Beta radiation is either an electron or a positron (I would read other sources for better information on this, it does not relate to the question). All of the rest, including gamma rays, are waves included in what is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The sole difference is their wavelength, or distance between repetitions in the wave, and frequency, the time it takes for a certain number of wave units to pass a certain point, often expressed in waves/second, or Hertz. The electromagnetic spectrum and its components can be more thoroughly explained by other sites.

Does Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light?

Yes, infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light. Infrared radiation has wavelengths longer than those of visible light, ranging from about 0.7 micrometers (μm) to 1 millimeter (mm), while visible light ranges from about 0.4 to 0.7 micrometers (μm).


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
