Infrared waves have lower frequency and longer wavelengths than X-rays.

They are both transverse waves, travel at the same speed in vacuum (3 x 108 ms-1) and do not require a material medium for their transmission.

Infrared is non-ionizing, x-rays are ionizing.

Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?

The wavelength of ultraviolet waves is shorter than the wavelength of infrared waves. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, while infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm.


Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?

UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.


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.


How does the wavelength of infrared compare with the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?

Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than ultraviolet waves. Infrared waves range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, while ultraviolet waves range from about 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers.


Which property spells the diffirences between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

The key property that differentiates infrared and ultraviolet radiation is their frequency or wavelength. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet radiation. This difference in frequency and wavelength determines the energy levels and interactions of each type of radiation with matter.


How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?

Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.


Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?

Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?

This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.


Which has longest wavelength?

Radio waves have the longest wavelength compared to other types of electromagnetic waves such as microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.


Does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infrared region?

Yes, electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represents a larger energy transition than radiation in the infrared region. This is because ultraviolet radiation has higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to infrared radiation, leading to higher energy photons.
