Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still

very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam.

Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.

Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?

No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.


Field which studies EMR including visible light xRays gamma rays and ultraviolet?

Radiometrythe science of quantifying the phenomena of electromagnetic radiation. In our context, we are interested in light, the limited range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, sometimes extended to the areas of infrared and ultraviolet. We also don't care about the quantum mechanical aspects of radiation. It will be enough to measure the physiologicallyperceiveable effects. For that purpose, we will often resort to the related field of photometry.


How does radiation helps in X-rays?

Which type of energy includes visible light xrays and microwaves?

Electromagnetic energy includes visible light, X-rays, and microwaves. These forms of energy are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which encompasses a wide range of electromagnetic waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths.


Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?

Telescopes on Earth can detect a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Different telescopes are designed to detect specific wavelengths within this range, allowing astronomers to study various objects in the universe.


The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?

Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye, while infrared rays have longer wavelengths.
