Infrared light and ultraviolet light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation that cannot be seen by the human eye. They both have wavelengths outside of the visible light spectrum. However, the main difference between the two is that infrared light has longer wavelengths and is associated with heat, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and can cause damage to the skin and eyes.

Why cant you see ultra violet light?

Ultraviolet light is too energetic to interact with the chemicals in our eyes, and so it does not produce the effect of sight. A similar statement can be said for infrared, which does not have enough energy.

What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
