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 are three instruments scientist use to observe things not see able with human eye?
1. Microscope 2. Telescope 3. Special cameras able to detect certain frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, that the human eye does not perceive (infrared, ultra-violet, gamma rays, x-rays, etc...)
Why does the wavelength response of the humans eye match so well with the visual window of Earth's atmosphere?
The human eye's sensitivity to wavelengths in the visual window of Earth's atmosphere is due to evolution adaptations during the development of the human eye. If infrared radiation were in abundance, then it is believed our eyes would be sensitive to infrared radiation.
What matches with radiant heat on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that produces radiant energy is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic waves. It is not visible to the human eye.
What is the last thing maheo creation?
Human beings
How Many People Have Walked On Another Planet?
No human beings, as of this date.
Is infrared radiation to human?
infrared radiation is invisible to humans
Human e mit infrared radiation?
yes, humans emit infrared radiation
Most of the radiation emitted by a human body is in the form of?
Infrared
Can human with using radiation morph into winged beings?
Radiation is lethal to Humans, So no.
What form of electromagnetic radiation is emitted by low temperature objects like the human body?
Infrared radiation is invisible to us and emitted by the human body.
Does a xerox copier machine creates radiation which is harmful for human beings?
No.
Does human body emit infrared radiation?
Most of the radiation emitted by the human body is infrared radiation and is invisible. if you press a remote button in front of a camera (cellphone or webcam may work) you will see an infrared ray!
What if a human had infrared sensitive eye?
we'd have night vision and we'd be sensitive to thermal radiation
What are three instruments scientist use to observe things not see able with human eye?
1. Microscope 2. Telescope 3. Special cameras able to detect certain frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, that the human eye does not perceive (infrared, ultra-violet, gamma rays, x-rays, etc...)
What type of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than human eye can detect?
Heat, infra-red, microwaves and radiowaves
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
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.
