Using an Electromagnetic Spectrum diagram, UV radiation has a frequency range around 1016 Hz. This is higher than the listed frequency ranges used for radar, which are under 1010 Hz.

Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


Which property spells the diffirences between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

The key property that differentiates infrared and ultraviolet radiation is their frequency or wavelength. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet radiation. This difference in frequency and wavelength determines the energy levels and interactions of each type of radiation with matter.


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

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.


Electromagnetic radiation and what is called ultraviolet light?

Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that travels through space in the form of waves. Ultraviolet light is a specific type of electromagnetic radiation that has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light. Exposure to ultraviolet light can have both beneficial (such as vitamin D synthesis) and harmful effects (such as skin damage).


Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?

Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.

Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?

Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)

What is the Differential of ultraviolet ray from infrared ray?

Ultraviolet rays have more energy and a higher frequency, while an Infrared ray is essentially heat, which has less radiation, and a longer wavelength. Also, they are located lower of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Is infrared radiation more energetic than visible radiation?

No. Infrared (IR) light is longer wavelength (lower frequency) light and is of lower electromagnetic energy than shorter wavelength (higher frequency) ultraviolet (UV) light. Note that our skin "senses" infrared light (which we normally think of as heat) in a different way than it does ultraviolet light. This may account for the difference in the way it "feels" when we're exposed to light of the two energies. To be clear, ultraviolet light has higher energy photon for photon than infrared light. If both are absorbed by the skin, the reaction of the skin will be slightly different, but the energy imparted to the skin will be greater with the UV light that the IR light.

Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.


Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?

That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.


What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?

Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.


What does the frequency of a wave tell us about the energy or radiation of the wave?

The frequency of a wave is directly proportional to its energy or radiation. Higher frequency waves have higher energy, while lower frequency waves have lower energy. This relationship is described by the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.
