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.


What is the difference between Infrared and X rays?

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


Do infrared rays have a short or long wavelength?

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.


What is difference between rays and radiations?

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


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 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.


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

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.


What type of wave lenght would be longer than infrared rays?

Microwaves would have longer wavelengths than infrared rays.


What is longer than visible wavelength called?

Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.


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 are infrared rays?

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength longer than the wavelength of visible 'red' light [or you could say they have a lower frequency than red light]. Infrared 'light' is used in TV remote controls to transmit information to an infrared receiver on the TV, and also in security systems to create an invisible 'light beam' that when broken, will send a signal back to the system.


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye, while infrared rays have longer wavelengths.
