GREETINGS!

Visible light is in between UV and IR region because visible light has a wavelength ranging from 400nm to 700nm, and below 400nm is the region of UV and above 700 is the region of IR, So visible lights is in between UV and IR

To understand things more clearly you could see the electromagnetic spectrum to see which ray lies lies in what region.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU

Answer:

The infrared has longer wavelengths (700 nm to 1 mm) than those of visible lights (390 nm to 700 nm). Note though that visible light is the only radiation that can be seen by the human eye. The ultraviolet is much more intense and has a shorter wavelength (400 nm to 10 nm) compared to visible light.
