Yes, this is true. The longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer they are to the source of radiation, the greater their risk of harm. The amount of radiation absorbed by the body is directly related to the duration and proximity of exposure.
Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
Microwave radiation generally has greater energy than infrared radiation. Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to infrared radiation, which results in lower energy levels for infrared rays.
Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.
The high heat or radiation can cause the protein molecule to denature, losing its original structure and function. This can lead to the protein becoming non-functional and potentially harmful to the cell or organism.
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.
Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
It is generally safer to be exposed to infrared radiation compared to ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower energy levels, so it is less likely to cause damage to the skin and eyes compared to ultraviolet radiation which can lead to sunburn, skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Fluorescent material absorbs ultraviolet radiation and re-emits it at longer visible wavelengths, producing a glowing effect. This phenomenon is called fluorescence, where the material appears to radiate light of a different color than the ultraviolet light initially absorbed.
Gamma radiation can kill microorganisms and pests that cause food spoilage, thus extending its shelf life. Additionally, gamma radiation can break down enzymes that cause ripening, slowing down the spoilage process. Overall, gamma radiation reduces microbial growth and enzymatic activity, keeping the food fresher for a longer period.
The ionising alpha radiation that radiates from the uranium-235 used to generate electricity, is dangerous and when cells are exposed to it they can suffer damage in the DNA on a molecular level which causes the cell to malfunction. This can lead to cancer or cell death (though sometimes cancer does not occur for up to 15 years) or on extremely high doses of radiation, many cells die and tissue ceases to function. This basically means that whoever it is that has been exposed to radiation can immediately get radiation sickness (not nice) and in the longer term organ failure and cancer.
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than the human eye can detect. These wavelengths are longer than those of visible light, allowing infrared radiation to be used for thermal imaging and night vision technology.
