Ultraviolet (UV) waves are on the higher frequency side of the visible spectrum, while infrared (IR) waves are on the lower frequency side. UV waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, while IR waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy.
There are seven types of electromagnetic waves and they are: 1. Radio waves 2. Microwaves 3. Infra-red waves 4. (visible) Light waves 5. Ultra-violet waves 6. X-ray waves 7. Gamma rays
Microwaves are nearest to radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have slightly higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves.
The cones in the retina of our eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies of light within the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). Light waves with longer wavelengths (within the visible range of frequencies) are perceived to be on the red, orange, yellow side of the spectrum, while higher frequencies/shorter wavelengths of light appear blue or violet.
The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, ordered by increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength. Each type of radiation has different properties and uses, such as radio waves for communication and X-rays for medical imaging.
Visible region is the shortest region in the electromagnetic spectrum. Please see the attached picture. It is the shortest defined region. However if you mean wavelength, the further you go on the UV side, the shorter the wavelength. If you are talking about frequence, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, so it would be furthest to the IR side. The question is not about the shorter wavelength or less frequency. It is about the region covered in the whole spectrum. So visible with VIBGYOR having wavelength starting from 350 nm to 750 nm will be the visible region where as other regions such as UV and IR would have a larger range.
The lower frequency waves are infrared, the higher ones are ultraviolet.

Infrared/ Ultravilote
On one side: infrared radiation. On the other side: ultraviolet radiation.

Violet and blue. The spectrum of visible light, from shortest to longest wavelengths can be listed as: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
Ultraviolet radiation lies on the shorter-wavelength side of visible light, while infrared radiation lies on the longer-wavelength side. Ultraviolet has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared has lower energy and longer wavelengths.
On one side of red there is, of course, orange but in increasing wavelength and invisible to us is infrared. Infrared which is very close to red and almost visible to us is called near infrared. At longer wavelengths there is far infrared then terahertz radiation, microwaves and radio waves.

The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.
