An "alpha ray" is not actually a ray at all, as a ray usually means "electromagnetic radiation". The closest yo can get to that is a stream of alpha particles. Alpha particles are helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons bound together) stripped of their electrons; because they are heavy and relatively slow, they can be stopped typically by a sheet of paper.
Infra red rays are electromagnetic radiation, like light or radio, at a frequency which we perceive as "heat".
What else can I help you with?
What has the highest frequency gamma rays or infrared waves?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than infrared waves. Gamma rays are on the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have higher energy than infrared light. Gamma rays have the highest energy among all types of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, while infrared light has lower energy and longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?
Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.
What gives off more energy infrared waves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays give off more energy than infrared waves. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation. In contrast, infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.
What has highest frequency gamma rays infared waves or radio waves?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency among gamma rays, infrared waves, and radio waves.
What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?
The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.
What has the highest frequency gamma rays or infrared waves?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than infrared waves. Gamma rays are on the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have higher energy than infrared light. Gamma rays have the highest energy among all types of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, while infrared light has lower energy and longer wavelengths than gamma rays.

Gamma rays give off more energy than infrared waves. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation. In contrast, infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.
What has highest frequency gamma rays infared waves or radio waves?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency among gamma rays, infrared waves, and radio waves.
What is the difference between Infrared and X rays?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
What is the correct order for the electromagnetic spectrum starting with gamma rays?
Gamma, X-Ray, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwaves, and then Radio waves. (from smallest to largest)
What is the Difference between neutron and gamma rays?
Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons have mass but no charge, while gamma rays are massless and have no charge. Neutrons are typically involved in nuclear reactions, while gamma rays are involved in the release of excess energy from an unstable nucleus.
Types of electromagnetic energy from least energetic to most energetic?
microwaves < infrared < visible < ultraviolet < x-rays < gamma rays .
Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than infrared rays?
Yes. The wavelength of radiation is w=hc/Energy. Gamma energy is larger than infrared energy, thus has shorter wavelength.
How do infrared waves compare with gamma rays?
Much lower frequency.
