The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.

Are light wavelenghts short or longer?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light, such as ultraviolet and gamma rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light, such as radio waves and infrared.


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.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?

Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.


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.


Which type of light has the most energy?

Ultraviolet light has the most energy among visible light, followed by visible light, then infrared light. This is because the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths having higher energy. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, making it more energetic.

Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?

Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.

Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?

No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.


What is the rank of waves in order of highest energy to lowest energy based on amplitude and frequency?

The rank of waves from highest energy to lowest energy is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. This ranking is based on the waves' amplitude and frequency, with higher frequency and lower wavelength corresponding to higher energy.


Are infrared waves higher or lower energy than visible light waves?

no


Does earth emit higher energy radiation that the sun?

No, the Sun emits higher energy radiation than the Earth. The Sun emits a wide range of energy, including high-energy ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray radiation, while the Earth's radiation is primarily in the form of infrared and visible light.
