What are the characteristics of infrared rays?
They are invisible. Butterflies has it a they can see some things we can't.
What are the 7 parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
radio and TV, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays

How does a thermoscope work?
A thermogram is an image that shows regions of different temperatures in different colors. . A camera can take pictures of the infrared rays, and since some spots let of more infrared rays than others, you can get a detailed picture. Any objects with heat produce infrared rays.
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.

What are some uses for infrared rays?
use the sun ****
What are some forms of radiation other than light?
Radio, Microwave, infrared,Gamma rays, and X-rays
What are some different types of light besides visible?
Infrared and ultraviolet. X-rays, Gamma-rays, micro-waves, etc. etc.
What are some examples or infrared rays?
A remote control,alarm systems,heat lamps, and satellites.
What do we use infrared rays for?
Infrared rays are the only way that heat can travel through the vacuum of space, and as such, are the means by which the Sun is able to warm the Earth. Without infrared rays, the Earth would be far too cold for life. Additionally, infrared is sometimes used as a means of heating things, such as in the cooking of food, along with other forms of heat transfer such as conduction and convection. Because some infrared radiation is given off by any object with any warmth, special devices can allow people to see in complete darkness by detecting infrared radiation, and then converting it to visible light on a screen (ie, night vision goggles). Some animals, such as pit vipers, have special senses specifically for infrared radiation, allowing them to detect warm blooded prey.
What living things can see other than the visible light?
Some believe that plants can feel rays other than visible photons. Also, snakes can see the infrared spectrum!
What are some Kinds of electromagntic radiation?
Visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, infrared and ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are examples of electromagnetic radiation
What are the 7 parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
radio and TV, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
What are some uses for infrared waves?
are used to find things in the dark and things like that
Where do infared rays come from?
They come from the sun. Some of the infrared rays are captured by greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane), which keeps our planet at a livable temperature. Of course, some of the rays are reflected back into space so we don't cook.
