Question

Which property spells the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The ultraviolet and the infrared radiation both are out of the spectral limit of humans eyes and hence both cannot be seen but the basic difference between the both of them is the length of the wavelength.
• They both have the ultraviolet radiation comes out of the visible spectrum because of the shorter wavelength and higher speed and hence is invisible while the infrared radiation comes out of the visible spectrum.
• Because of the longer wavelength and lower speed and hence it is also invisible to human eye these are the two basic properties that make them different.

Answer 2

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

"The key difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation is that the wavelength of infrared radiation is longer than that of visible light, whereas the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is shorter than the wavelength of visible light."
