The Earth's atmosphere is quite transparent to infrared radiation. The sun's radiation is most intense in the infrared region. Radio waves have wavelengths longer than 1 m. Blue light has a higher frequency than X-rays A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to electric fields polarized horizontally X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light.
