Infrared Waves.
Where does it appears in the EM Spectrum?
-between Microwaves and Ultra Waves.
The way of remembering all the waves in order:R – redM – menI – inV – veryU – uglyX- x-rayG – gowns
What type of wave is it?
-It is a transverse type of wave.
Can it travel through a vacuum?
Yes infrared waves are part of electromagnets radiation spectrum and all electromagnets will Propagate through a vacuum.
Frequency and wavelength around the spectrum:
sizes for wavelength are 875 nm, 880 nm, 890 nm, 940 nm and 950 nm
Examples of emitters (what does emit mean?)
An infrared emitter is a source of light energy in the infrared spectrum. It is a light emitting diode (LED) that is used in order to transmit infrared signals from a remote control.
Emit means weather to give out or send, for example “The lamp had Emitted a warm glow”
Uses/dangers of this wave:
This wave ISNOT visible however we can feel it as it is heat energy.
Its used for:- Burglar alarms- Security lights- remote controls-x-rays
Dangers: -causes skin burns - X-rays can cause damage cells
This is the experiment that we did for Infrared waves
