Here's a breakdown of what you said:
* Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves: Just like visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, infrared rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation. This means they travel as waves of energy, oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
* They are longer than radio waves: Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than radio waves. This means the peaks and troughs of the wave are further apart.
* They are shorter than visible light rays: Infrared radiation has a shorter wavelength than visible light. This means the peaks and troughs of the wave are closer together.
Here's a helpful way to remember the electromagnetic spectrum:
Increasing Wavelength:
* Radio waves
* Microwaves
* Infrared radiation
* Visible light
* Ultraviolet radiation
* X-rays
* Gamma rays
