Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?

Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.


Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.


Which radiation is the range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than violet on the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet radiation is the range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than violet on the visible spectrum. It has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light. Exposure to UV radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms.


Does ultraviolet light have high or low frequencies?

Ultraviolet light has high frequencies compared to visible light. It has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye but commonly used in various applications such as sterilization and fluorescent lighting.


Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?

Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.

What is the area beyond the color violet called?

The area beyond the color violet in the visible light spectrum is called ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light, and is invisible to the human eye.


What statement best describes ultraviolet waves?

Ultraviolet waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light. They are present in sunlight and can cause sunburn and skin damage with overexposure.


What is the opposite of ultraviolet light?

The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
