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.


Does an infrared have have more or less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

Infrared waves have far less energy than ultraviolet, being much further down the spectrum.


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.


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.


How do wavelengths of infrared light compared to wavelengths of ultraviolet light?

Infrared light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Infrared light ranges from about 700 nm to 1 mm, while ultraviolet light ranges from about 10 nm to 400 nm. Ultraviolet light has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than infrared light.

What two lights can't we see?

Ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths are invisible to the naked (human) eye. cw: Yes, in general, you can't see light with higher energy than violet or lower than red. On the low end, that energy level starts with infrared. On the high side, that energy level starts with ultraviolet. Between is the visible light spectrum.


Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

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


What is the difference between the energy of ultra violet light and the energy visible light?

Ultraviolet light has a greater energy per photon.

What is similar about infrared and ultraviolet?

Both infrared and ultraviolet are forms of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the human eye. They both have wavelengths outside the visible light spectrum, with infrared having longer wavelengths and lower energy, while ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths and higher energy. Both types of radiation are used in various scientific applications, such as spectroscopy and imaging.


What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?

Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.


Does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infrared region?

Yes, electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represents a larger energy transition than radiation in the infrared region. This is because ultraviolet radiation has higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to infrared radiation, leading to higher energy photons.
