This has to do with the electromagnetic spectrum. Whether you know it or not, Gamma-rays, ultraviolet, X-rays, microwaves, visible light, infrared, and radio/tv waves are all the same thing, just in different doses. Infrared literally means "below-red", while ultraviolet means (beyond or above violet, or purple). With fore-said spectrum, visible lights highest frequency color appears to us as purple. At a slightly lower frequency we observe blue, then green, followed by yellow, and eventually red. In between each of these colors we observe intermediate colors like magenta, teal, orange and pink. At a frequency lower than, or below, red, we begin to enter the infrared area of the electromagnetic spectrum. Above purple, we enter the ultraviolet area of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Can infrared radiation pass through glass windows?
That depends, short wave infrared radiation can travel through glass (hence the laser pointers and your TV remotes), but longer infrared waves get reflected. This is due to the design of glass so that we can see through it but the infrared heat radiation does not leave, thus improving efficiency.
How can I connect PC to Laptop via infrared?
You can connect a PC to a Laptop via infrared by ensuring that their respective dongles have a clear line of sight between each other. You also need to have the appropriate infrared client software installed on both computers.
What are 2 types of wireless printing?
Bluetooth & Infrared
What is the maximum operating rate of a wireless LAN using infrared communication?
1 mbps
What is the amplitude of infrared?
The question is not correctly phrased, Infrared is electromagnetic radiation which consists of waves. Amplitude is a measure of the maximum "strength" or height of the wave and therefore will have a whole range of values from 0 upwards. Infrared does not have a specific range of amplitude however it will have a range of frequencies ( visible light Red end 4 x 1014 Hertz - 3 x 1011 Hertz Microwaves ) and wavelength (visible light Red end 750 nanometres - 1000000 nm nanometres Microwaves)
Is the infrared light too long or short?
how is named after the hubble space telescope
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
How do infrared quartz heaters work?
The infrared quartz heaters have the infrared emitters and they emit infrared rays continuously to heat the heater in the instrument. The heat is generated and infrared emission stops.
What Differences in thermal energy can be detected with?
infrared imagery
Which retailers sell a electric infrared heater?
Depending on what kind of infrared heater you want, there are many retailers that carry them. Home Depot has portable infrared heaters and infrared ceiling heaters. Safer Wholesale sells portable infrared heaters and patio infrared heaters.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths.
What has the author Gilbert Gaussorgues written?
Gilbert Gaussorgues has written: 'La thermographie infrarouge' -- subject(s): Infrared detectors, Infrared radiation 'Infrared thermography' -- subject(s): Infrared radiation, Infrared technology, Thermography
What is wood effect in black and white infrared film mean?
it's the dreamlike ethereal effect in IR photographs named after the IR pioneer Robert Wood.
What is the origin of infrared?
Infrared Rays (IR) originate from the sun :)
What wave does infrared use?
Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic wave.
What is infrared absorption?
This phenomenon is the absorption of infrared waves in a material.
