Much of the radiation created by a heat lamp is infrared electromagnetic radiation. A heat lamp is generally designed not to emit too much visible light, but is set up to emit most of its radiation in the red and "below red" (infrared) areas of the spectrum.

All heat sources should be thermostatically controlled to maintain the correct temperature range, and lamps (especially ceramic bulbs) should be enclosed by wire mesh so a reptile cannot touch the bulb directly.

∙ 9y agoA heat lamp doesn't absorb heat, it gives off heat. It depends on the wattage of the bulbs how much eat it gives off.

What type of energy does a lava lamp produce?
Light, heat and kinetic energy.
This type of radiation is normally felt as heat?
Any form of radiation can produce heat. Infra-red radiation is the most commonly recognized as heat, but the question has a much longer answer if you need to know the why.
What type of radiation is felt as heat?
solar radiation from the sun
What type of radiation can not be seen but can be detected as heat?
Infrared radiation.
What type of radiation is given off by humans?
thermal radiation = heat
What wave does a heat lamp use?
A heat lamp emits infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic wave. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, and it is often used to provide heat in various applications such as in heat lamps or infrared saunas.
What type of energy does a lava lamp produce?
Light, heat and kinetic energy.

How does radio frequencies produce radiation levels?
radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.
What type of radiation does radioactivity produces?
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
What type of em wave raditiation is a type of heat wave?
Heat radiation is mainly associated with infrared radiation.
What type of radiation is felt as heat?
solar radiation from the sun
What type of radiation can not be seen but can be detected as heat?
Infrared radiation.
What type of energy do more efficient light bulb produce?
A greater percentage of light, and a smaller percentage of infrared radiation and heat.
What type of radiation is given off by humans?
thermal radiation = heat
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.
What type of energy after the light comes on?
A light bulb (technically, a lamp) converts electrical energy into a mixture of heat and light ... the makeup of that mixture depends upon the type of lamp being used. An incandescent lamp produces most of its energy in the form of heat and relatively little light ... a fluorescent lamp produces a higher percentage of light and less heat ... gas/vapor glow lamps (including lasers) produce an even higher percentage of light ... and light-emitting diodes (LED) produce the highest percentage of light presently available.
