What type of energy being carried by an infrared wave?

Infrared waves produce heat when the interact with normal matter, so most people would say they carry heat. In fact, infrared radiation is electromagnetic energy, as are ultraviolet, visible light, radio waves and others.


How is visible light convert to infrared in greenhouse effect?

Visible light heats the earth and the earth emits infrared energy which is absorbed by green house gases that trap the heat.

You can detect energy only by the effect it has on matter?

You are made from matter, and therefore would not be able to detect energy without it having an effect on you. Energy is defined as the capacity for doing work. Without work ever being done on matter, and without energy ever being defined this way, energy would not be detected.


What branch of physics deals with energy and matter?

All physics deals with energy and matter. In effect that is almost a complete definition of what Physics IS.


What is an everyday example showing how heat is absorbed from visible radiation and transferred to infrared radiation?

Infrared Radiation is at a Frequency that is outside of the range of the Visible Spectrum. Visible light does not 'become' Infrared Light. If a light source is giving off energy in the form of HEAT it is emitting Infrared Energy, as well as Visible Light. A light source can also "Heat" matter by giving off energy such as X-Rays, or Gamma Rays, or more commonly MICROWAVE Radiation.


How is energy transferred in infrared cooking?

electromagnetic radiation in the infrared band


What are the negative effects of infrared waves?

Infrared is heat energy and heat energy can seriously hurt because it can burn


Does infrared high or low energy?

Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.


What are the infrared dangers?

The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.
