No, "infra" means below, "ultra" means above. Infra red light is below red and ultra violet is above violet light.

Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?

That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.


What color light has greater frequency than violet light?

Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light.


Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?

No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.


What waves have lower frequency?

Radio waves have lower frequency compared to visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays. This makes them suitable for long-distance communication because they can travel through obstacles and the atmosphere with less attenuation.


Does visible light have a higher frequency then radio waves?

Definitely. The highest radio frequency is around 300 GHz, whereas the lowest visible frequency is around 400,000 GHz.


How does blue light compare with ultraviolet light?

The blue light has longer wavelength, lower frequency, andless energy per photon than the ultraviolet light has.The blue light is also visible to the human eyes, whereas theultraviolet light is not.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


The electromagnetic waves on one side of the visable band are called?

The lower frequency waves are infrared, the higher ones are ultraviolet.


Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?

they are a high frequency


Electromagnetic radiation and what is called ultraviolet light?

Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that travels through space in the form of waves. Ultraviolet light is a specific type of electromagnetic radiation that has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light. Exposure to ultraviolet light can have both beneficial (such as vitamin D synthesis) and harmful effects (such as skin damage).


Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?

Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light?

Higher frequency than infrared, but lower than ultraviolet, in otherwords in the middle
