Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves. The infrared spectral band begins with the waves that are just longer than those of red light (the longest waves in the visible spectrum), so IR is invisible to the human eye.

2016年8月10日 · Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light and can pass through dense regions of gas and dust in space with less scattering and absorption. Thus, infrared energy can also reveal objects in the universe that cannot be seen in visible light using optical telescopes.

2025年1月20日 · infrared radiation, that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from the long wavelength, or red, end of the visible-light range to the microwave range. Invisible to the eye, it can be detected as a sensation of warmth on the skin.

Infrared radiation (IR), sometimes known as infrared light, is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than those of visible light. Hence, it is undetectable by the human eye, although IR of wavelengths up to 1050 nanometers (nm) from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions.

2023年11月8日 · Infrared waves, often referred to as infrared radiation or IR, constitute a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, yet shorter than microwaves.

2019年2月27日 · Within the electromagnetic spectrum, infrared waves occur at frequencies above those of microwaves and just below those of red visible light, hence the name "infrared." Waves of infrared...

2024年6月26日 · Radio waves, Microwaves, and Infrared waves are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, differing primarily in their wavelengths and frequencies. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies, used in communication systems. Microwaves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, ideal for radar and cooking.

2024年4月30日 · Infrared (IR) is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. It falls just beyond the red portion of the visible spectrum, hence its name meaning "below red."

2023年11月11日 · In this blog post, we will explore 30 fascinating facts about infrared waves. We will learn about the discovery of infrared radiation, how it is generated, and some of its key properties. We will also look at some of the practical uses of infrared waves in science, technology, and even astronomy.

2024年1月14日 · Infrared (IR) waves are a type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation with wavelengths ranging from 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm) and frequencies between 300 GHz and 430 THz. They are situated between microwaves and visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum.
