Visible light imagery only reveals what is reflected from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
Infrared imagery detects the differences in thermal energy, which are used to map either cloud cover or surface temperatures. They allow meteorologists to determine the temperature of a cloud.
What they have in common:
Weather satellites used both of these equipment to observe the atmosphere.

How do AM radio and television wavelengths compare with X rays?
All wavelengths used for communication are longer than all infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths.
Does ultraviolet light carry more energy than infrared radiation?
Yes. Radiations on the "red" end of the spectrum, such as radio, microwave, and infrared, have markedly less energy than visible light. Frequencies on the "purple" end, on the other hand, such as ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma, have considerably more.
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.
The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays
What term is used to describe the collection that includes gamma rays x-rays ultraviolet light visible light infrared radiation and radio waves?
All travel at the same speed through a vacuum
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?
Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?
In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?
Both infrared and ultraviolet are kinds of electromagnetic radiation, as is the visible light.
Are Infrared and Ultraviolet Light not visible?
Yes, they are not.
What are electromagnetic waves with frequencies highter than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays?
Infrared, microwave, and radio are electromagnetic radiation with lower frequencies than visible light.
The frequency of visible light falls between that of?
Ultraviolet and the infrared.
What radiation lies at frequencies just blow the frequencies of visible light?
infrared
Glass is transparent to visible light but not to?
Ultraviolet and Infrared.
What is Ultraviolet lights?
Ultraviolet light (UV light) is light of shorter wavelength than the visible spectrum. Many insects, like bees, see mostly UV light so they can find plants with nectar. Sunlight contains UV light and can tan but also damage your skin if you stay outside too long on a sunny day.Answer:Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies. The different frequencies are the different colors. Just outside the range of frequencies (colors) humans can see are infrared and ultraviolet. Ultraviolet is higher frequency and infrared is lower.Note: Higher frequencies are shorter wavelengths and lower frequencies are longer wavelengths.Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies. The different frequencies are the different colors. Just outside the range of frequencies (colors) humans can see are infrared and ultraviolet. Ultraviolet is higher and infrared is lower
Can you see all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No. Radio, microwave, heat, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, or gamma rays are not part of the visible spectrum. Visible light has frequencies between 400 - 800 nm
What are two types of non visible radiation?
infrared and ultraviolet
