The frequency of visible light falls between that of?

The frequency of visible light falls between ultraviolet and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers.


Arrange the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency infrared comic rays visible light microwaves radio waves and ultraviolet?

In order of increasing frequency: (i) radio waves. (ii) microwaves. (iii) infrared. (iv) visible light. (v) ultraviolet. hope this helps =)


Is infrared radiation more energetic than visible radiation?

No. Infrared (IR) light is longer wavelength (lower frequency) light and is of lower electromagnetic energy than shorter wavelength (higher frequency) ultraviolet (UV) light. Note that our skin "senses" infrared light (which we normally think of as heat) in a different way than it does ultraviolet light. This may account for the difference in the way it "feels" when we're exposed to light of the two energies. To be clear, ultraviolet light has higher energy photon for photon than infrared light. If both are absorbed by the skin, the reaction of the skin will be slightly different, but the energy imparted to the skin will be greater with the UV light that the IR light.


Where is visable light located on the electromagnet radiation?

someone PLEASE write an answer i need it.. really bad.. please write an answer. thanks and (:**I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER**:) thank you to who ever answers it:):):):):):):):):):)


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.

Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?

Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then 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.

What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?

Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?

Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.


Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

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


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.


Is it true or false that microwave ovens use a type of infrared wave?

Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.


Who has a higher frequency infrared or ultraviolet?

Ultraviolet rays have higher frequency (1 x 1016 to 8 x 1014 hertz) than the infrared rays(4 x 1014 to 1 x 1013 hertz).
