Look at the diagram showing the different wavelengths in sunlight.

A diagram showing the human eye and visible light. Visible light is broken down by color with wavelength in nanometers. Red is 700, orange is 600, yellow is 580, green is 550, blue is 475, indigo is 450, violet is 400.

Which statement describes electromagnetic waves with wavelengths greater than 700 nanometers?

They take the form of heat.
They can cause skin cancer and sunburn.
They are some of the shortest waves.
They can be seen by human eyes as visible light.

They take the form of heat.

Wavelengths >700 nm are infrared and longer; infrared radiation is felt as heat (not visible, and it does not cause sunburn—UV does).
