When you sit near a fire you will feel the warmth of infrared radiation on your bare skin. Infrared radiation can be used to supply heat to a room.
Although our eyes cannot see infrared there are electronic devices than can. Vehicles, animals and people give off infrared, even in the dark, and these devices can be used like ordinary video cameras to view scenes when our eyes are essentially useless to us.
What else can I help you with?
What radiation do toasters use?
Toasters use infrared radiation to heat and toast bread. The heating elements inside the toaster emit infrared radiation, which causes the bread to brown and crisp up through the process of thermal radiation.
What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
How can you protect yourself from infrared radiation?
To protect yourself from infrared radiation, you can wear clothing that blocks infrared rays, use sunscreen with infrared protection, and limit your exposure to sources of infrared radiation like the sun and certain electronic devices.
How can I effectively block infrared radiation?
To effectively block infrared radiation, you can use materials that are opaque to infrared light, such as metal foils, certain types of glass, or specialized films designed to block infrared radiation. These materials can absorb or reflect the infrared radiation, preventing it from passing through.
What is infrared radiation also called?
Infrared radiation is also commonly called infrared light or IR radiation.
What wave does infrared use?
Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic wave.
What radiation do toasters use?

What type of em radiation do conventional ovens use?
infrared radiation ;)<3
What is infrared radiation also called?
Infrared radiation is also commonly called infrared light or IR radiation.
Can infrared radiation kill you?
Yes. At a high enough intensity any form of radiation can be deadly. All forms of electromagnetic radiation carry energy, which can heat objects. Intense enough infrared radiation can essentially broil you.
Is infrared the same as thermal radiation?
Yes, infrared radiation is a type of thermal radiation.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.
How do we detect infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation can be detected using infrared sensors or cameras that are sensitive to the specific wavelength ranges of infrared light. These sensors can convert the infrared radiation into an electrical signal that can be processed to create images or detect objects that emit infrared radiation.
Is it true or false that microwave ovens use a type of infrared wave?
Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.
