How did infrared get its name?
The term "infrared" comes from Latin roots: "infra" meaning below and "red" referring to the color red, which has the longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, hence the name.
How do human beings perceive infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than the red part of the visible spectrum (hence the name infrared for below red) and is invisible to the human eye. However humans do sense infrared as heat. So when you are warming yourself on a cold day with a roaring fire or hands around a hot drink it is the infrared radiation you are feeling.
What is a sentence using the word infrared?
Some night vision goggles detect the infrared signatures of people and objects. Heat travels from a fireplace as infrared radiation.
Who discovered the infrared ray and when?
The infrared ray was discovered in 1800 by Sir William Herschel
Does germanium emit far infrared radiation?
Yes, germanium does emit far infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and germanium is known for its semiconducting properties that allow it to emit and detect infrared radiation. This property makes it useful in various applications such as night vision devices and infrared sensors.
What is another name for infrared energy?

Why would infrared be not good for defrosting food?
In one way or another, Infrared cannot be controlled, I say this because if you expose something to Infrared for too long, that thing could burn. Therefore Infrared is too intense, to defrost food (a delicate thing). This is most probably why Infrared would not be good for defrosting food.
Advantages of infrared?
You can send files and music from one phone to another in the space of two minutes with just putting the two phones together and turn the infrared button on.
What is another property that xrays and infrared waves share?
Both X-rays and infrared waves can penetrate certain materials. X-rays can pass through soft tissues in the body, while infrared waves can pass through glass.
Can you break a infrared beam with another infrared beam or another light source?
In general, no. You may be able to exploit non-linear properties of the medium through which light is shining, but you cannot stop light using just other light.
