What can you use infrared radiation for?
When you sit near a fire you will feel the warmth of infrared radiation on your bare skin. Infrared radiation can be used to supply heat to a room. Although our eyes cannot see infrared there are electronic devices than can. Vehicles, animals and people give off infrared, even in the dark, and these devices can be used like ordinary video cameras to view scenes when our eyes are essentially useless to us.
What instrument is used to detect infrared radiation?
Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat-sensitive devices such as thermocouple detectors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.Pranay karnatak
Where does infrared heat come from?
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
Which type of electromagnetic wave is used to produce a thermogram?
To produce thermogram it needs infrared wave. It is a radiant energy which cannot be seen by naked eyes and it was discovered by Sir William Herschel, an astronomer in the year 1800.
Where do infrared waves come from?
Heat sources. (or more generally, sources of electromagnetic radiation) It is so far undenied (and "functions") that infrared is an electromagnetic radiation with a slightly higher wavelength = slightly lower frequency than visible light. (search key words: infrared, frequency, wavelength, source) Infrared propagates in vacuum as well as in the atmosphere. Infrared penetrates slightly deeper into material than visible light (cf. "light therapy effects") or ultraviolet (which deposits its energy at the surface, causing for example a sun tan or skin cancer) and feels "warm".
What radiation is used for digital camera?
Infrared radiation (IR)
What type of radiation is used to treat acne?
infrared
Why are infrared radiations used in detecting enemy concentration?
Infrared radiatyion is used in detecting enemy concentrations because Infrared radiation is not visible and in the meantime there are devices that can transfer its pictures and views into visible pictures and views.In the meantime, infrared radiation has no passive impact on personnel dealing with contrary to ultraviolet radiation.
What do people use everyday that have infrared rays in them?
Infrared rays are used in television remote controls
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 infra red radiation be used to keep food warm?
Infrared radiation, also commonly known as "heat".

Why is aluminum used to make fireman clothes?
Aluminium reflect infrared radiation.
How is infrared radiation used for?
Infrared is heat. When you feel the warmth of a space heater, you feel the effect of infrared radiation. The other uses are motion detection (infrared sensor) and night-vision (live animals have a heat signature, a blurred image, against a colder background at night). ======================
What wave does a heat lamp use?
A heat lamp emits infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic wave. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, and it is often used to provide heat in various applications such as in heat lamps or infrared saunas.
A heat lamp produces what radiation?
Heat travels in the form of infrared radiation. You don't use radiation todetect radiation. You use a detector that responds to the type of radiationyou're trying to detect. In the case of infrared radiation, your skin makes anexcellent detector.
What instrument is used to detect infrared radiation?
Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat-sensitive devices such as thermocouple detectors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.Pranay karnatak
