How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?
yes, heat radiation is called infrared radiation
Is infrared radiation to human?

What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
Do infrared waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and all electromagnetic radiation will propagate through a vacuum.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
Can infrared radiation pass through glass windows?
That depends, short wave infrared radiation can travel through glass (hence the laser pointers and your TV remotes), but longer infrared waves get reflected. This is due to the design of glass so that we can see through it but the infrared heat radiation does not leave, thus improving efficiency.
Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?
yes, heat radiation is called infrared radiation
Fast food restaurants keep food hot with infrared lamps. The heat is transferred to the food by?
The infrared heat is transferred to the food by radiation.
Does artificial light travel as fast as natural light?
The radiation that a laser emits ... whether it's visible light, infrared, or microwave, has all the same physical characteristics as electromagnetic radiation from other sources has, including speed.
Is infrared radiation to human?
infrared radiation is invisible to humans
How heat waves travel through the ozone layer?
Heat waves do not travel through the ozone layer. Some infrared radiation passes through it, but "far infrared" does not. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
What type of radiation does electric cooker grill have?
I think its infrared radiation.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths.
