Infrared, ultraviolet, and visible radiation are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Arrange the three types of radiation in order of increasing energy.
Note: Use only infrared, ultraviolet, or visible for your answers.
Lowest: ___<___<___ :Highest
look at chapter 7.2 in Chang's Chemistry 10th Ed. for more detail.
infrared, visible, and ultraviolet.
UV is the highest energy. Infrared is the lowest energy of the three. Visible is in between.
To arrange the three types of radiation in order of increasing energy, we need to understand the concept of the electromagnetic spectrum and how it relates to energy. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, ordered by increasing energy.
Visible radiation is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It includes the colors of the rainbow, from red to violet. In terms of energy, visible radiation falls in the middle range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Ultraviolet radiation has higher energy than visible radiation. It is located just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum, which means it has shorter wavelengths and higher frequency.
Infrared radiation, on the other hand, has lower energy compared to visible radiation. It is located just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, which means it has longer wavelengths and lower frequency.
Therefore, the correct order from lowest to highest energy is:
Lowest: Infrared < Visible < Ultraviolet
