Our eyes are adapted to a certain range of wavelengths; infrared and ultraviolet are those waves that are just outside this range.

Example of how infrared waves and visible light are important in your life?

Infrared waves warm you providing heat and visible waves enable you to see.


What is the radiation source for infrared waves?

Welll you see....


Difference between infrared waves and red light waves?

Infrared waves have longer wavelengths compared to red light waves. The wavelengths of infrared waves are too long for the naked eye to see, while red light waves can be seen as part of visible light.


How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?

Infrared waves are a type of electromagnetic waves that carry infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is a form of energy that is emitted or absorbed by objects as heat. Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light and are commonly used in devices such as remote controls and infrared cameras.


What electromagnetic waves can humans not see?

Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.

no . we cant see. ghost is a product of fear and fear.........


Are infrared waves dangerous?

Infrared waves are generally not dangerous as they are non-ionizing radiation. However, prolonged exposure to very high levels of infrared radiation can cause heating of tissues and potentially lead to burns. It is important to avoid direct exposure to intense sources of infrared radiation.


How Infrared radiation travels?

Are infrared waves shorter or longer than ultra-violet waves?

Infrared is a much longer wavelength than ultraviolet.


Which waves are transmitted by a television remote control device?

They most use infa red but they use wireless for the more recent technology.


What waves can't you see?

You can't see radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves because they have wavelengths that are not within the visible spectrum. These waves are typically used for communication, heating, and thermal imaging, but they are invisible to the human eye.


How can infrared waves be produced?

Infrared waves, which have longer wavelengths than visible light, can be produced by heating up an object until it emits thermal radiation. This thermal radiation includes infrared waves that are then detected by infrared sensors or cameras. Additionally, some electronic devices, such as infrared LEDs, can also generate infrared waves.
