Ho invented infrared radiation and how?
No one invented it.
Can animals or humans see infrared radiation?
Humans can't see that. Some animals have a different range of radiations they can see. One interesting case is certain snakes, which have a special organ to sense heat radiation (i.e., infrared radiation). This helps them find their prey.
Which is the best absorber of inferared radiation heat a dull surface or a shiny one?
A dull surface will absorb infrared best, but it needs to be dull at infrared wavelengths. Do not judge the infrared behavior by the visible performance.
Radiation emitted from human skin reaches its peak at λ equals 940 µm how much energy is carried by one quantum of these electromagnetic waves?
Heat waves, or infrared radiation.
Are living organisms a source of electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is common in living organisms. One example is infrared radiation (heat) given off by warm bodies. And we know that critters like sharks can sense magnetic fields generated electromagnetically by other critters they are searching for.
What are the risks of infrared radiation?
One of the risks of infrared radiation is excessive heating and/or burns.
Ho invented infrared radiation and how?
No one invented it.
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
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?
X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is similar to heat radiation?
We know that infrared radiation can transfer thermal energy (heat) from one place to another.
Who murderd Marie curie?
no one - she died from exposure to radiation
What are Two Parts Of The Electromagnetic Spectrum That Are Close To Visible Light?
On one side: infrared radiation. On the other side: ultraviolet radiation.
What do you call the radiation next to the red end of the visible spectrum?
On one side of red there is, of course, orange but in increasing wavelength and invisible to us is infrared. Infrared which is very close to red and almost visible to us is called near infrared. At longer wavelengths there is far infrared then terahertz radiation, microwaves and radio waves.
Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce ultraviolet rays infrared waves x rays or cosmic rays?
Exposure to radiation in the ultraviolet region is the most common way of causing fluorescence, but not the only way. Exposure to enough radiation for one electron to absorb two photons can cause fluorescence.
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.
Can animals or humans see infrared radiation?
Humans can't see that. Some animals have a different range of radiations they can see. One interesting case is certain snakes, which have a special organ to sense heat radiation (i.e., infrared radiation). This helps them find their prey.
