Infra-red waves have a wavelength which is shorter than microwaves, but still longer than visible light. Infra-red waves are basically heat energy emitted by hot objects which travel in the form of electromagnetic waves.

What is a form of energy with wavelengths that are longer than those of red light?
infrared light
What kind of energy enables us to see?
Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.
Is the suns energy a form of light energy?
The sun produces electromagnetic energy in many different wavelengths including those within the spectrum visible by humans (i.e. visible light). This energy is the result of an intense nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core.
What is a simple definition of light energy?
Simple definition : An energy that comes from the light. Expanded definition : The radiant energy in the visible region or quantity of light. It is in the form of electromagnetic waves, and since the visible region is commonly taken as extending 380-760 nanometers in wavelength, the luminous energy is contained within that region. It is equal to the time integral of the production of the luminous flux. In photometry, luminous energy is the perceived energy of light. This is sometimes also called the quantity of light. Luminous energy is not the same as the radiant energy, the corresponding objective physical quantity. This is because the human eye can only see light in the visible spectrum and has different sensitivities to light of different wavelengths within the spectrum. When adapted for bright conditions (photopic vision), the eye is most sensitive to light at a wavelength of 555 nm. Light with the same power at longer or shorter wavelengths has a lower luminous energy.
How are different types of energy told apart?
Types of energy are told apart by their wavelengths. All energy is a form of wave.
What is a form of energy with wavelengths that are longer than those of red light?
infrared light
What causes an atom to release energy in the form of visible wavelengths of light?
When an atom releases energy in the form of visible wavelengths of light, it indicates that an electron in that atom has gone from an excited energy level, back down to a lower energy level.
What is an invisible form of energy with wavelengths that is a bit shorter than violet light?
Ultraviolet Radiation!
What type of wave is a UV light?
A UV light radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than those of violet light but longer than those of x-rays. The radiation is invisible to the human eye.
What kind of energy enables us to see?
Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.
What does invisible infrared radiation mean?
Infrared radiation is a form of energy with wavelengths that are longer than red light. You can look up pictures of a Light Waves Spectrum to find out the length of red light. infrared radiation is invisible, but can be felt as heat.
Is radio waves a form of radiation?
Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
Is the suns energy a form of light energy?
The sun produces electromagnetic energy in many different wavelengths including those within the spectrum visible by humans (i.e. visible light). This energy is the result of an intense nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core.

Earth gets most of it's energy from this form of energy?
Radiation from the sun (infra red wavelengths)
