Infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. It is often used in thermal imaging or night vision technology.
Usage examples
Infrared photography: You can use infrared filters on your camera to capture stunning black-and-white photos that reveal unique details and textures, such as foliage appearing white and the sky appearing dark.
Infrared heating: Infrared heaters provide efficient and targeted heating by emitting infrared radiation that directly warms objects and people in a room, instead of just heating the air.
Infrared remote control: Many electronic devices, such as TVs, DVD players, and air conditioners, use infrared technology to be operated remotely. The infrared signals sent from the remote control are received by the device, allowing you to control its functions from a distance.
Infrared saunas: Infrared saunas use infrared radiation to generate heat, providing a gentle and relaxing way to experience the benefits of traditional saunas. The infrared heat directly penetrates the body, promoting sweat and detoxification.
Infrared sensors: Infrared sensors are commonly used in security systems as motion detectors. They detect changes in infrared radiation caused by moving objects and trigger an alarm or other programmed response.
