Infrared and X-ray are alike, in that both of them are electromagnetic waves, albeit different.
Electromagnetic waves are "a phenomenon that takes the form of self-propagating waves in vacuum or in matter." (Wikipedia article)
They are both parts of the Electromagnetic spectrum (Wikipedia article)
The difference between the different wave of the spectrum is their wavelength ."The distance over which the waves shape repeats." (Wikipedia article)

Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
What is the difference between remote controls that use infrared light and those that use radio waves is?
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
What waves are used in an Iris scanner?
Infrared waves. Infrared waves are also used in retina scans.
Are infrared waves are an example for longitudinal wave?
No, infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and those are transverse waves.
Are infrared waves longitudinal?
No. Infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and therefore, a transverse wave.
What are xrays waves used for?
chelsea say head
Which waves are transmitted by a television remote control device?
They most use infa red but they use wireless for the more recent technology.
Are infrared waves sound waves?
No; sound is a mechanical wave, infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
