Why water can absorb in the IR region but not in the visible region?

Water can absorb infrared (IR) radiation due to its molecular vibrations, which correspond to the energy of IR photons. These vibrations involve bending and stretching of the O-H bonds, allowing water molecules to interact with IR light effectively. In contrast, visible light has higher energy photons that do not match the energy levels associated with the vibrational transitions of water, resulting in minimal absorption in that region. Thus, water is transparent to visible light while being a strong absorber in the IR region.


Does IR have UV Rays?

Infrared (IR) radiation is distinct from ultraviolet (UV) radiation as they are found at opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, while UV radiation has shorter wavelengths than visible light.


What energy does visible light have?

Typical light bulbs convert electrical energy into light and heat energy. The light (visible, IR and some UV) radiates away. Some we can see. The bulb heats up. This heat energy is radiated away and -- if it's not in a vacuum -- the heat is also carried away by convection.


Can be visible or infrared?

I can't think of anything that could be those two and nothing but those two. Electronic structure spectroscopy is generally in the UV/Visible band, but I suppose it could extend down into the near IR. Vibrational spectroscopy (with rotational fine structure) is in the IR, but doesn't make it up into the visible region.


Why does the double bond between two carbon atoms absorb ir energy?

Infrared is absorbed by the vibration of molecules. The vibrational energy of a molecule is quantized. The IR energy will cause vibration of the atoms linked by the bond. This will be a specific frequency that will vary slightly from compound to compound.ecule,

What waves are on either side of the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves are on the higher frequency side of the visible spectrum, while infrared (IR) waves are on the lower frequency side. UV waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, while IR waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy.


Is IR rays visible to eyes?

No.


Does the sun radiate both visible energy and invisible energy?

Yes, the sun radiates both visible energy in the form of light and invisible energy in the form of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and other wavelengths. The visible light we see makes up a small portion of the sun's total electromagnetic spectrum.


The sun radiates both visible energy and invisible energy?

The visible energy radiated by the sun is in the form of light that we can see. The invisible energy includes ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and other types of radiation that are not visible to the human eye but still carry energy. Both visible and invisible energy from the sun are essential for sustaining life on Earth.


Where is infrared waves type of radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?

Infrared waves are located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye but detectable as heat.

Is UV visible and IR range considered non ionizing radiation?

No of course not.answ2. Light and heat are ordinary EM (electromagnetic) radiation.Ionizing radiation is sufficiently energetic to remove parts of an atom, and to thus ionize it.The UV from sunshine may damage the molecular bonds, but this is not ionizing radiation.


Why ordinary silicon diode does not emit light?

The energy band gap between the cathode and anode is too small to generate photons of higher energy than far IR.Silicon is opaque to visible light (and even IR).


Why you can see the ir led through camera?

Most digital camera sensors are sensitive to a small range of IR, as well as visible light.
