What would happen to your body if you detect too much infrared radiation?

infra-red radiation only heats things up, so you wouldn't get any specific damage apart from burns

What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
Can energy cannot be felt but can be seen?
Yes. There are several forms of energy that can be felt, or in other words, detected by our senses. For example, infrared radiation is emitted from warm objects and this can be detected by temperator receptors on our skin. Infrared radiation is due to certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum and would therefore be a form of energy, electromagnetic energy. The photoreceptors in our eyes are not able to detect infrared wavelengths of light.
What are all bodies emit called?
All objects and living things emit infrared radiation unless the object is not a black hole as well unless its temperature is not at the Absolute Zero ( I would call it an "infrared black hole") - such an object can only absorb infrared radiation.
What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.
What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
A heat lamp produces what radiation?
Heat travels in the form of infrared radiation. You don't use radiation todetect radiation. You use a detector that responds to the type of radiationyou're trying to detect. In the case of infrared radiation, your skin makes anexcellent detector.

What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
Is there an infrared radiation exposure statement out there by some organization?
Infrared radiation is generally known as "heat", so the statement "Don't touch the stove!" would qualify as a "radiation exposure statement".
What do we use infrared rays for?
Infrared rays are the only way that heat can travel through the vacuum of space, and as such, are the means by which the Sun is able to warm the Earth. Without infrared rays, the Earth would be far too cold for life. Additionally, infrared is sometimes used as a means of heating things, such as in the cooking of food, along with other forms of heat transfer such as conduction and convection. Because some infrared radiation is given off by any object with any warmth, special devices can allow people to see in complete darkness by detecting infrared radiation, and then converting it to visible light on a screen (ie, night vision goggles). Some animals, such as pit vipers, have special senses specifically for infrared radiation, allowing them to detect warm blooded prey.
How much radiation does infrared waves such as the nuwave cooking vessel give off?
I would like an answer
If ultraviolet radiation makes amethyst lose its color would infrared light bring it back?
No.
Does human body emit infrared radiation?
Most of the radiation emitted by the human body is infrared radiation and is invisible. if you press a remote button in front of a camera (cellphone or webcam may work) you will see an infrared ray!
What are all bodies emit called?
All objects and living things emit infrared radiation unless the object is not a black hole as well unless its temperature is not at the Absolute Zero ( I would call it an "infrared black hole") - such an object can only absorb infrared radiation.
What radiation is trapped close to your surface by the green house effect?
That would be infrared rays, this is due to the wavelength.
What would happen if Nitrogen and oxygen absorbed infrared radiation?
The earth would immediately become too hot for any life to exist. The oceans would become so hot they would boil, eventually evaporating, probably into space. We would have a runaway greenhouse effect.
