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.

What is the name of the radiation between visible light and x rays?

The radiation between visible light and x-rays is called ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels than visible light, but lower energy levels than x-rays.


In the electromagnetic spectrum what is the radiation on either side of visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation lies on the shorter-wavelength side of visible light, while infrared radiation lies on the longer-wavelength side. Ultraviolet has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared has lower energy and longer wavelengths.


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.


What are 3 forms of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength higher than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation: has shorter wavelengths than visible light. X-rays: have even shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet radiation. Gamma rays: have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy among electromagnetic radiation.


What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?

Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)

What is the difference between ultraviolet and visible radiation?

ultraviolet radiation has a greater frequency than visible light, that is to say that it cycles ("travels up and down") more times per distance traveled. it can also be expressed as having a shorter wavelength (distance traveled during one cycle) than visible light

How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?

Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


What type of radiation causes sun burn?

UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.


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).


What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?

Both infrared and ultraviolet are forms of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the human eye. They both have wavelengths outside the visible light spectrum, with infrared having longer wavelengths and lower energy, while ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths and higher energy. Both types of radiation are used in various scientific applications, such as spectroscopy and imaging.


Does earth emit higher energy radiation that the sun?

No, the Sun emits higher energy radiation than the Earth. The Sun emits a wide range of energy, including high-energy ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray radiation, while the Earth's radiation is primarily in the form of infrared and visible light.


Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?

No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
