The wavelength of infrared radiation is _______ than that of the light.

Open in App

Solution

The wavelength of infrared radiation is more than that of light.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of a span of all electromagnetic radiation which further contains many sub-ranges which are commonly referred to as portions. These can be further classified as infra-red radiation, visible light, or ultraviolet radiation.
Hence, according to the electromagnetic spectrum the wavelength of infrared rays is more than light waves.
Hence, the wavelength of infrared radiation is more than that of the light.
