What are the differences between Ultraviolet and Infrared radiations?

Answer 1

Frequencies and wavelengths (APEX)

Answer 2

Even though you decided not to share the list of choices that you have, I'll stick my

neck out and take a guess anyway: Their differences are completely accounted for

by their different frequencies or wavelengths.

Answer 3

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than Infrared radiation. UV radiation is invisible to the human eye and can cause sunburn and skin damage, while Infrared radiation is felt as heat and is commonly used in remote controls and night vision devices.

Answer 4

UV = shorter wavelength; Infra-red=longer wavelength.

energy of photon is E=hf, where f = frequency and h= a constant

now, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so UV light photons have more energy than infra-red photons.

Its worth noting that both these types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 5

Microwaves, visible light and X-rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. They differ in frequency, wavelength and in energy. The three are listed in order from lowest frequency to highest. Further, the highest frequencies have the shortest wavelengths, and the highest energies.

Answer 6

The only two differences are in their frequencies and wavelengths. Both Ultraviolet radiation and Infrared radiation are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum so generally have the same properties. The Infrared radiation has a frequency of 1012 to 1014 Hz and a wavelength of 1000 micrometer to 10 micrometer whereas the ultraviolet radiation has a frequency of 1016 to 1017 Hz and a wavelength of 100 nanometers to 10 nanometers.

Answer 7

A. Wavelength B. Frequency

Answer 8

The wavelengths are different which translates into different energies. X-rays can pass through you, visible light can only do that to a minor extent.

Answer 9

Wavelength, Frequency or Energy

Answer 10

The difference is their wavelengths.
