more energy, yes. If that is what you mean as power and energy are different units.

In both cases, you can have a low intensity (little energy per time and unit area), or a high intensity. The energy PER PHOTON is greater in the case of ultraviolet light.

Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.


How is visible radiation different from ultraviolet radiation?

UV radiation carries more energy because it vibrates faster, i.e. it has a shorter wavelength. Because it carries more energy, it can do much more damage than visible light.


What has more energy microwaves or x rays?

microwaves


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

ultraviolet has more energy.


Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?

im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.


Do microwaves have more energy than X-rays?

Well, x-rays rank higher than everything on the electromagnetic spectrum except for gamma rays. The higher a ray ranks on the electromagnetic spectrum, the more energy it has. Therefore, x-rays have more energy than visible light and anything below it, and less energy than gamma rays.


What type of radiation causes sun burn?

UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more 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.


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.


Which one is higher energy gamma waves ultra violet waves microwaves radio waves?

The smaller the wavelength (high frequency), the higher the energy. So gamma has the highest energy, followed by x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, microwaves, radio, in descending order. This is also why green laser-pointers are more expensive than red ones ;)


Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
