Which of the following statements correctly compares the frequency and energy of infrared waves and ultraviolet waves?

A

Infrared waves have lower frequencies than ultraviolet waves. Since frequency and energy are directly proportional, infrared waves also have less energy than ultraviolet waves.

B

Infrared waves have lower frequencies than ultraviolet waves. Since frequency and energy are inversely proportional, infrared waves also have more energy than ultraviolet waves.

C

Infrared waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves. Since frequency and energy are directly proportional, infrared waves also have more energy than ultraviolet waves.

D

Infrared waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves. Since frequency and energy are inversely proportional, infrared waves also have less energy than ultraviolet waves.

Ronnie Casey · Answer 2

The Correct Answer is A

Explanation:

Infrared waves

Infrared waves are the Infrared radiation is what we like to describe as a heat. We can not see the Infrared waves but we can sense the Infrared waves. Infrared waves are often used in restaurants to heat food.

Ultraviolet waves

Ultraviolet waves have a number of uses in our day to day life. Ultraviolet waves are used in forgery detection. Ultraviolet waves can also cause tanned on our body's skin.
