What would happen to your body if you detect too much infrared radiation?
infra-red radiation only heats things up, so you wouldn't get any specific damage apart from burns
Does a hot iron emit infrared?
yes all heat energy is infrared radiation. so as it emits heat it is emitting infrared radiation.
Is microwave radiation the same as infrared radiation?
Answer No.Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths between 750 nanometres and 1 millimetre.Thermal radiation is all electromagnetic radiation emitted from an object due to its temperature and follows a "black body spectrum".The reason we generally refer to Infrared as 'heat' is because that is the main form of radiation emitted from objects at temperatures we encounter day to day. In actual fact, ANY electromagnetic radiation can heat a surface it hits. So yes, you can be warmed by yellow light if it was bright enough.So to clarify, thermal radiation can sometimes be infrared (and sometimes yellow, or red, or blue, or ultraviolet, or microwave, or radio!). Infrared radiation can sometimes be thermal (but can be generated by methods other than an object's heat).The thermal radiation your body emits is mostly far infrared with some very weak microwaves.The thermal radiation from the Big Bang is 3K, so cold that it has no infrared at all in it, only microwave, UHF/VHF (causing snow on the older analog TV screens), and some very weak shortwave radio!The thermal radiation from a few very very big and hot Blue Giant stars is actually mostly x-rays!
What factors affect the emissions and absorption of infrared radiation?
hi i have no clue about this questrion so can someone pls help me out?
How do infrared rays affect your environment?
Infrared rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is the range of electromagnetic radiation, so if put in the hands of the human industry with weaponising and telescopes and the DVD's it is bad for the environment and is what is effecting the changes of climate through its radiational effect. Infrared rays affect the environment by giving of radiation, causing cancer etc.

Is there an infrared radiation exposure statement out there by some organization?
Infrared radiation is generally known as "heat", so the statement "Don't touch the stove!" would qualify as a "radiation exposure statement".
Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation
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 infrared radiation part of the electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it is. Infrared is the same physical phenomenon as radio, light, and microwaves. The only difference among them is their wavelengths (frequencies). Infrared is our name for electromagnetic radiation with wavelength just longer than red light ... long enough so that our eyes don't respond to it.
How do human beings perceive infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than the red part of the visible spectrum (hence the name infrared for below red) and is invisible to the human eye. However humans do sense infrared as heat. So when you are warming yourself on a cold day with a roaring fire or hands around a hot drink it is the infrared radiation you are feeling.
What telescope can detect coolness of a star?
infrared telescope because the puday is so pudayingme and my puday
Does Betelgeuse emit more or less infrared radiation than the sun?
It's luminosity is 90,000 - 150,000 times that of the Sun, so it's safe to assume that the total amount of infrared radiation will also be more. Since its temperature is lower than that of the Sun, the percentage of infrared radiation should also be higher.
Can infrared light get through Earth's atmosphere?
Yes, some of it can. Infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases, but not all of it is trapped. These gases only trap radiation in very specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, so there are "windows" where it can escape.
Is infrared radiation the same as radiation?
No, if you look at a chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, you will see that microwave radiation is a longer wavelength ( approx. 1x10^8 Hz to 1x10^11Hz). Infrared is a smaller wavelength - approx 1x10^13 to ^15. The smaller the wavelength, the more able it is to penetrate matter. Radio waves do not penetrate our body because they are so very large, on the flip side, x-rays are very very small wavelengths and therefore can pass through our body.
