What else can I help you with?
What type of energy do you feel as heat?
You are feeling a specific kind of light called infrared light. This is not visible light, and it comes before red in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the difference between light rays and heat radation?
Light rays are visible and have higher frequency compared to that of heat radiation Heat radiation is nothing but infra red which is not visible to human eyes. They have longer wavelength compared to that of visible light
What kind of radiation can we feel but cant see?
We can feel infrared radiation as heat, but we can't see it with our eyes because it's not within the visible spectrum. This type of radiation is often emitted by warm objects or the sun.
Why cant you feel heat from the stars?
Simply put, they are much to far away for us to feel their heat.
Does a light bulb convert electrical energy to both heat and light energy?
Yes. Heat is radiated as infra-red, a longer wavelength than visible light, but otherwise similar. Incandescent light bulbs with a heated filament emit infra-red light as heat, and only a small part of the emission is visible. Other light bulbs using electrical discharges in neon gas (known as fluorescent bulbs) do not produce as much infra-red, and are more efficient in the conversion of electrical energy into light. If you feel a fluorescent tube you will find it is only warm, but DO NOT feel an incandescent bulb or you will burn your hand, its so hot.
What can infrared cameras see?
Not with your eyes without special equipment. You can however feel it.
Which layer of the sun gives off heat and light?
The photosphere gives off heat and visible light.
A campfire emits what 2 ranges of electromagnetic radiation?
A campfire emits electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and visible light ranges.
What are the differences between infrared light and visible light?
Infrared light has longer wavelengths and is not visible to the human eye, while visible light has shorter wavelengths and is what we can see. Infrared light is often used for heat detection and communication, while visible light is what we perceive as colors.
Do stars radiate heat energy?
Yes, stars radiate heat energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. This is how stars produce light and heat that we can see and feel from Earth.
How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).
Does Heat has shorter wavelengths than visible light?
Yes, heat, in the context of thermal radiation, typically refers to infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths than visible light. While visible light ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers, infrared radiation has wavelengths from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. Therefore, heat (infrared) does not have shorter wavelengths than visible light; instead, it has longer wavelengths.
