It is not heat energy from Near IR, because it doesn't have
it at these higher energy wavelengths which are being used in these kinds of therapies, but the actual energy of the wavelength which is affecting healing.
Not exact matches
Other telescopes designed to detect
high -
energy wavelengths, such as x-rays, need considerable distance between their mirrors and x-ray detectors and therefore must be built
at large scales — an expensive venture in terms of construction and launch.
«Only by combining the
high quality observations
at very different
wavelengths could we do this and when we separated these
energy sources the effect of the magnetic field was surprisingly clear.»
They are electromagnetic waves like visible light but situated
at the
high energy / short
wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum, between ultraviolet light and gamma rays.
Other useful properties of synchrotron light are: -
high energy beams to penetrate deeper into matter - small
wavelengths permit the studying of tiny features, e.g. bonds in molecules; nanoscale objects - synchrotron beams can be coherent and / or polarised, permitting specific experiments - the synchrotron beam can be made to flash
at a very
high frequency, giving the light a time structure.
The actual
wavelengths / photons / particles of visible light are really tiny — all
high energy signifies here is that the waves are closer together and smaller in height, they are so because travelling
at the same speed as longer waves they have to be considerably smaller, and end up being microscopic like near infrared and visible is even smaller, thermal infrared can be the size of a finger nail.
According to what I have read, the Earth directly emits its
highest -
energy IR photons,
at 8μm to 12μm
wavelengths, through a win ¬ dow to space without interacting with any gases.
Similarly when the sun is less active the sky becomes a little brighter because more
energy is coming in
at visible
wavelengths (but less
at higher energies such as invisible UV).
At the same time the sky becomes a little less bright when the sun is more active because less energy is coming in at visible wavelengths (but more at higher energies such as invisible UV

Lower emissions
at these
wavelengths means
higher emissions
at other
wavelengths (to maintain the
energy balance) and that implies a
higher surface temperature.
If a molecule is excited by a
wavelength, then it can reradiate
at higher wavelength (always
higher, because lower
energy — 2nd Law).
Any
energy that is taken up by these molecules
at 15μ can ONLY re-emit
at LONGER
wavelengths — not shorter,
higher energy wavelengths.
