What else can I help you with?
Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?
The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.
Is red shortest wavelength?
Yes. The longest visible wavelength / lowest visible frequency is the last color you see on the red end of the 'rainbow'. The shortest visible wavelength / highest visible frequency is the last color you see on the violet end of the 'rainbow'. These limits are not exactly the same for every human eye.
Ultraviolet light infrared light and what?
The electromagnetic wave radiation spectrum is large . . . it goes from radio waves to microwaves to light waves to X-Rays and so on. We can only see the part of this spectrum that we call light waves. The colors of visible light waves runs from red on the low end, through orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. We cannot see light that is lower than red or higher than violet. "Infra" means 'below'. "Infra red" means 'below red'. We can't see infrared or lower. "Ultra" means 'beyond or above'. "Ultra violet" means 'above violet'. We cannot see ultraviolet or higher.
What is the difference between infra-red and light?
Infra-red simply means less than red (referring to its place in the spectrum) and it is a wavelength that we cannot see. Similarly, ultra-violet means greater than violet and it is at the other end of the light spectrum, again of a wavelength that we cannot see. There are a lot of wavelengths of electro-magnetic radiation (as these are called) that we cannot see, radio waves being some of them.
What are two light energy waves that you can't see?
The two ligh energy waves that you can't see are ultra-violet (UV), and infra-red (IR). Ultra-violet light waves are measured at 380nm and below, infra-red light waves are 750nm and above. Normal light that you can see resides between these two regions.
What is infraed?
Infra-Violet is below violet light,radiation,etc...
What are the coulors of the rainbow?
?Infra-Red (shortest wavelength)RedOrangeYellowGreenBlueVioletUltra-Violet (longest wavelength)
What is the release of energy from the sun?
Electromagnetic radiation in the infra red, visible, and ultra violet frequency ranges
What are the similarities between Ultra Violet and infra-red?
Both of them travel through space at the same speed
Can any bird see both ultra violet and infra red light?
no sorry if that is not enof info
Which gas protect UV?
Ozone traps Ultra-violet radiation where as CO2 traps Infra-red radiation.
What is the only way that energy from the sun can travel to the earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
What separates light into its component colors?
A triangular prism separates the white light into the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). There is also ultra violet and infra-red but these cannot be seen.
What kind of rays are emitted by sun?
Visible light, Ultra-violet, Infra-red, Gamma-rays and X-rays (amongst others)
What is the arraignment of electromagnetic waves according to wavelengths?
Gamma, X-ray, ultra-violet, visible light, infra-red, heat, radio.
What colours and what order make up the visible spectrum?
Infra red <- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. -> Ultra violet "Richard of York gave battle in vain" will help you remember in future
What are exmaples of electromagnetic energy?
Radio waves, microwaves, infra-red light, visible light, ultra-violet light, x-rays, gamma rays.
