What waves are often used in heat lamps?
Infrared waves.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
Are infrared waves given off by plutonium?
Because plutonium is hot emit also infrared radiation.
Why are infrared waves called heat waves?
-- They can't be called radio waves or microwaves, because no radio receiver designed by man can detect them. -- They can't be called X-rays, because they don't fog X-ray film. -- They can't be called visible light waves, because nobody can see them. -- They can't be called gamma rays, because they're not emitted in nuclear decay. -- They can't be called ultraviolet waves, because their frequency is lower than the frequency of visible light. -- In many 19th Century Physics laboratories where infrared waves were being studied, it was observed that the presence of infrared waves was often correlated with a warm sensation on the surface of the human body. After correcting for all other possible causes, such as wet pants and female post-doc lab assistants, it was concluded that the warmth arose from the waves themselves, and they were dubbed "heat", in recognition of the reaction they were able to bring about.
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.
What waves are often used in heat lamps?
Infrared waves.
What type of EM wave is most often associated with heat?
The ones called "heat waves", or infrared radiation.
Transfer of heat in the form of waves?
Is called infrared.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
Is infraredwaves of blood circulatory massager harmful to body?
No, because the infrared waves turn into heat waves upon contact and penetration into the body in a process called conversion.
Are infrared waves given off by plutonium?
Because plutonium is hot emit also infrared radiation.

The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
What are the negative effects of infrared waves?
Infrared is heat energy and heat energy can seriously hurt because it can burn
What type of waves are often used in the heat lamps?
The waves in the spectral band between radio and visible light, most commonly referred to as "heat" waves. Those that originate from devices manufactured in Trinidad, Singapore, and Jamaica are known as "tropical heat waves" etc.
What waves are used in an Iris scanner?
Infrared waves. Infrared waves are also used in retina scans.
Are infrared waves are an example for longitudinal wave?
No, infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and those are transverse waves.
