Ultraviolet light travels at a greater speed than infrared light. This is because the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, and different wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and infrared, have varying frequencies and energies.

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 infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?

UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.


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 is the opposite of ultraviolet light?

The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.


Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?

Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.


What is visible or invisible form of energy that travels by waves in straight lines?

Light is a visible form of energy that travels in straight lines. It can also appear invisible, such as with ultraviolet or infrared light.


What are the invisible light?

Infrared and ultraviolet light


What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?

Ultraviolet waves travel faster than infrared waves in space because they have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. The speed of electromagnetic waves, including ultraviolet and infrared, in space is determined by the speed of light, which is a constant value in a vacuum.


Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?

Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.


What is the opposite of infrared light?

The opposite of infrared light is ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to infrared light.


How do you know light travels?

The Doppler Effect. As light travels from distant stars, it loses energy. its wavelength turns into a lesser amplitude (the height of a wave), which turns from ultraviolet, to infrared, which is red. Thus, Redshifting.


What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?

The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
