Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than visible light, making them invisible to the naked eye. They are typically in the range of 700 nanometers (near-infrared) to 1 millimeter (far-infrared) in wavelength.

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.


Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than infrared rays?

Yes. The wavelength of radiation is w=hc/Energy. Gamma energy is larger than infrared energy, thus has shorter wavelength.


What is the difference between Infrared and X rays?

Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.


What are the electromagnetic waves of energy from long to short?

The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from long to short wavelengths in this order: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of electromagnetic wave has different properties and uses based on its wavelength.


What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?

The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays


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.


Can infrared cause cancer?

Yes it can cause cancer if in infrared light for long time.


Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?

No, UV rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. UV radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to infrared radiation.


Would X-rays or infrared light have more energy?

Electromagnetic waves comes in different frequencies; at higher frequencies, the wavelength is shorter. So, X-rays have a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency, and more energy per photon, than infrared light.


What is difference between rays and radiations?

Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.


What has the highest frequency gamma rays or infrared waves?

Gamma rays have a higher frequency than infrared waves. Gamma rays are on the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?

Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.
