Ultraviolet light has higher energy than visible light but lower energy than X-rays. The energy of ultraviolet light ranges from about 3 eV to 124 eV, depending on the specific wavelength.

Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?

Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.


What form of energy are x-rays and ultraviolet light?

X-rays and ultraviolet light are forms of electromagnetic energy.


Which form of energy are x ray and ultraviolet light?

Heat


What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?

Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.


What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?

Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)


What energy transformation in fluorescent lamp?

In a fluorescent lamp, electrical energy is transformed into ultraviolet light energy when the electricity flows through the gas in the tube. This ultraviolet light then strikes the phosphor coating inside the tube, causing it to emit visible light. So, the energy transformation involves conversion from electrical energy to ultraviolet light energy and then to visible light energy.


How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?

Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.


What type of energy do ultraviolet have?

Ultraviolet light carries electromagnetic energy, falling between visible light and X-rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?

The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.


What type of light has the highest photon energy?

Within the range of visible light, it's the light with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency). That's theviolet end of the spectrum. Past that, ultraviolet light, which is invisible, has higher energy.


Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?

Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.


Does ultraviolet light produce heat?

Ultraviolet light does not directly produce heat. Heat is typically generated when ultraviolet light is absorbed by an object and converted into thermal energy.
