Ultraviolet radiation has higher energy levels than infrared waves. This higher energy can break chemical bonds in cells, leading to potential DNA damage and increasing the risk of skin cancer or other health effects. Infrared waves, on the other hand, have lower energy and primarily cause heating effects without the same level of cellular damage.
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation are examples of non-lethal waves to humans because they have lower energy levels that are not harmful to human tissues.
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.
The sun emits various types of waves, including electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. These waves are collectively referred to as solar radiation.
Radiant energy is made by electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and radio waves.

They are infrared waves! ^__^
The Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, as well as certain infrared wavelengths. This is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation. Most radio waves, visible light, and some infrared and ultraviolet radiation are able to pass through the atmosphere.
They technically are not "hot" per se....they are forms of radiation.

Ultraviolet waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the human eye. An example of ultraviolet waves is sunlight, which contains UV radiation along with visible light and infrared radiation. UV waves are also used in black lights and UV lamps.
Radiant energy is made by electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and radio waves.
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Waves of energy are called electromagnetic waves. These waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
