How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).
What three forms of radiation are from the sun?
The three forms of radiation from the sun are visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. Visible light is responsible for the light we see, while infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation are not visible to the human eye but have important effects on Earth's climate and environment.
Is violet radiation visible to human?
No, violet radiation is not visible to the human eye. It falls outside of the visible spectrum of light for humans, which ranges from violet to red.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.
What color radiation?
Radiation does not typically have a color. Electromagnetic radiation such as visible light does have colors, but other forms of radiation like X-rays or gamma rays are not visible to the human eye and do not have a distinct color.
Why is it not completely accurate to describe the energy coming from the sun as visible radiation?
Mainly because not all of it is visible.
What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation is visible?
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible.
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
What type of energy travels as visible radiation?
Optical Light is visible radiation energy.

Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?
Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
Is violet radiation visible to human?
No, violet radiation is not visible to the human eye. It falls outside of the visible spectrum of light for humans, which ranges from violet to red.
What are the three radiation that comes from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
What happens if you place a thermometer in any wavelength of visible spectrum?
A thermometer measures temperature by detecting infrared radiation. The visible spectrum does not emit significant amounts of infrared radiation, so placing a thermometer in any wavelength of the visible spectrum would not result in an accurate temperature reading.
What kinds of visible radiation are included in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible radiation (light): 380-760 nm (or 790-400THz)
