By :Gunnar Morgan
Frequency range
The infrared wave has a wavelength of 800 nm to 1 mm
A jet
The infrared camera is on the jet and on the engines the color is more red because that is where it is the hottest.
where is it at on the Electro Magnetic Spectrum
Infrared is after microwaves and before visible light on the Spectrum. the frequency of a infrared wave is 430 THz down to 300 THz
Hair dryer
Yet you can't see the heat coming from a hair dryer you can definitely feel it. The infrared picture shows you what you can't see.
Food Lamp
Some people use infrared lights to keep food heated. The infrared light is going from the lamp to the food.
Stove Top
This is another way you can use infrared light to heat things up. This is an electrical stove.
Definition of Infrared
(of electromagnetic radiation) having a wavelength just greater than that of the red end of the visible light spectrum but less than that of microwaves.
