Both of these are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The main difference between the two is the wavelength and frequency.

(Frequency multiplied by Wavelength always equals the Speed of Light, the constant abbreviated as "c". This is approximately equal to 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 km per second. If you know the wavelength and you want to find the frequency, divide "c" by the wavelength. )

One difference between visible and non-visible light is that visible light can be seen by the human eye, while non-visible light, such as ultraviolet or infrared light, cannot be seen without special equipment.


What is the difference between infrared light and visible light ultraviolet light?

Their wavelength.


What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?

Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.


How do you make a distinguish between UV and VIS?

The only difference, between ultra violate light and visible light, is their frequencies, UV has higher frequency than visible and since wavelength x frequency = the speed of light (which is constant at 3x108 ms-1), therefore wavelength is higher in UV. UV light is also not visible, unlike visible light! so, in summery the difference is frequency and wave length.

Ultraviolet light has a greater energy per photon.


What is the difference between light rays and heat radation?

Light rays are visible and have higher frequency compared to that of heat radiation Heat radiation is nothing but infra red which is not visible to human eyes. They have longer wavelength compared to that of visible light


What is the difference between a black light and a regular light bulb?

A black light emits ultraviolet (UV) light, which is not visible to the human eye but can cause certain materials to fluoresce. A regular light bulb emits visible light that illuminates the surrounding area.

What is the comparison between visible light and ultra violet light?

What is difference between visible and infrared light?

Visible light is visible (for the human eye), infrared is not. Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a higher frequency. visible light is visible to human i.e the VIBGYOR, above vibgyor are ultravoilet light which is not visible to human eye and below vibgyor are infrared light which is also not visible to human eye.
