Three ways in which heat travels?
Conduction, Convection and Radiation (Infrared).
How do you know that infared is there if you can not see it?
-well actually you can never see infrared light. It is light that is "too red" to be seen with our eyes. Other devices that "see" infrared light see how much it emits, but provides false colored images of the infrared light. For example, those pictures of galaxies taken from infrared detection equipment appear bright at some regions because those regions emit a lot of infrared light but that is not how infrared light actually looks like. The same goes for ultraviolet photos. Like the ultraviolet photos of our sun provide false colors and the brightest areas represent the area with the greatest ultraviolet light emission. and the same goes for x ray, microwave and radio. Our visible light that we can see is a tiny chunk of all the light that is actually out there. It is extremely hard to visualize light we have never seen in our life with our eyes.. These other colors just cannot be seen with human eyes.
How can Heat can be transferred through a vacuum?
There are three ways to transfer heat:1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation Only the third way works in the case of a vacuum. In this third way, the radiation in question is electromagnetic waves - usually infrared (it depends on the temperature of the object). Just like light - which is also an electromagnetic radiation - other electromagnetic waves travel especially well through empty space.
What are some uses of infrared radiation?
Some ways are:Doctors use infrared lamps to treat skin diseases and relieve the pain of sore muscles. In these treatments, the infrared rays pass through the patient's skin and produce heat.Scientific advances pertaining to infrared have allowed buildings to keep cool even in the summer. Gold transparent films in the windows of large office buildings reflect infrared and help to keep temperatures cool.Photographers use film that is sensitive to infrared rays to take pictures in places where there is no visible light. Burglar alarms also use infrared.Infrared is used extensively in specially-designed ovens for drying painted and enameled surfaces, leather, metals, papers and textiles.
In which ways can infrared lights be used?
Infrared lights can be used in many different ways. The common ways it is used are to detect the changes in temperature, to measure the heat radiated by an object and it can also be used in cooking.

Conduction, Convection and Radiation (Infrared).
How are eletromanetic waves produced?
Well there's many ways. One is from the sun's electromagnetic waves that have infrared radiation, white light (which is all colors of the rainbow), and ultraviolet radiation in case you wanted to know more about them.
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Explain how astronomers use electromagnetic radiation to study space?
Electromagnetic radiation is "light." Light in various wavelengths (gamma rays through to infrared) comes to us from out in space, and astronomers use instruments called telescopes to capture it and observe the bodies and processes emitting this light.

How does Heat from sun reaches you by?
By traveling through space as electromagnetic radiation. The sun is actually 93 million miles away. And since light travels at 186,000 miles per second, by the time the heat (infrared radiation), ultraviolet radiation, visible light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation strike your skin, they have traveled almost eight and a half minutes across empty space.
What are ways to transmit data in space?
Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.

What are some ways people can effect earths energy budget?
This is straight from the book: 1.Solar radiation hits Earth and it's atmosphere 2.Earth loses energy by reflection of sunlight from its surface and from clouds, dust, and air molecules in the atmosphere 3.Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere lose infrared radiation(heat) to space 4.Greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, let sunlight in but keep infrared radiation from escaping to space
What are 3 types of sun radiation?
There are three ways in which heat can transfer. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, like touching a hot iron. Convection, somewhat similarly, is the transfer of heat through liquids, i.e storm cells, doldrums, etc. The third way is through radiation, specifically, infared. A perfect example is our light from the sun, this is infared radiation traveling through a vaccuum to reach Earth. If this was not the answer being sought, please resubmit or feel free to edit.
Can heat travel through space where there is no air?
It depends on how you want to look at it. heat can only be transferred three ways: Convection, which is transferring heat through a fluid, Conduction, which is transfer of heat through a solid, and by radiation, which is emitted light in the infrared wavelengths. radiation can travel through space just fine, but convection and conduction are right out if there isn't anything that can be heated up. Radiation doesn't require a medium, and can thus transfer heat through a vacuum.
Why is OH absorption of alcohols and phenols characterised by a broad peak in infrared spectrometry?
If a significant quantity of a compound is being analysed, a very large number of individual molecules will be present. The hydrogen bonds are formed in different ways and they absorb infrared radiation at varying frequencies. This results in a broad peak.
