What else can I help you with?
Are infrared and thermal the same thing?
No, infrared and thermal are not the same thing. Infrared refers to a type of electromagnetic radiation, while thermal refers to heat energy.
How is heat transferred by infrared radiation?
It is the radiation itself that transfers the heat energy in this case. Infrared is almost exactly the same thing as visible light (simply of a different frequencies); each photon (light particle) carries part of the energy.
Is thermal the same as infrared?
No, thermal and infrared are not the same. Thermal refers to heat energy, while infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye and is often associated with heat.
Why is ultraviolet radiation more harmful than infrared waves?
Ultraviolet radiation has higher energy levels than infrared waves. This higher energy can break chemical bonds in cells, leading to potential DNA damage and increasing the risk of skin cancer or other health effects. Infrared waves, on the other hand, have lower energy and primarily cause heating effects without the same level of cellular damage.
What form of energy does an Infrared Lamp give out?
The answer is Radiant energy. Infrared light has properties of radiant energy in the form of either a wave or a particle, but not both at the same time, depending on how you look at it.
Is infrared energy electromagnetic?
Yes.It is the same as visible light but.has a longer wavelength than red light, hence "infrared"
When energy transfers from one object to another can the energy stay the same?
The total energy has to stay the same. It is not possible to create or destroy energy, even if you transform it from one form to another.On the other hand, by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the useful or usable energy will invariably be reduced in any energy transformation.
The unit of energy is the same as what?
The unit for energy is the joule. That's also the unit for work and for heat - both of which refer to energy transfers.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
Infrared waves are a type of electromagnetic waves that carry infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is a form of energy that is emitted or absorbed by objects as heat. Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light and are commonly used in devices such as remote controls and infrared cameras.
The cell transfers energy by shuttling from molecule to molecule?
hahahaha i have the same question in my bio class
Conditions for no heat transfer between two objects?
No heat transfer occurs between two objects when they are at the same temperature and there is no temperature gradient between them. This equilibrium state means that the thermal energy within each object is equal, and there is no net heat flow from one to the other.
What wave matter move the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
