3. Wavelength and Frequency The wavelength of infrared rays range from 7 millimeters to 750 nanometers The frequency ranges from 4 X 10 14 Hertz to 1 X 10 13 Hertz Wavelength and Frequency The wavelength of infrared rays range from 7 millimeters to 750 nanometers The frequency ranges from 4 X 10 14 Hertz to 1 X 10 13 Hertz

4. Infrared rays are invisible to the human eye, unless reflected off an object.

5. The Electromagnetic Spectrum Infrared rays fit between microwaves and visible light.

6. Sir William Herschel Discovered Infrared Rays Discovered in 1800, the German astronomer split light using a prism (an object that can split white light into a spectrum/rainbow) and used a thermometer to find out whether heat was being emitted without light. Herschel concluded that there must be invisible heat rays, and his hypothesis was correct.

8. Uses Of Infrared Rays Infrared Photography - can be used to detect pathological tissue growth

9. Uses Of Infrared Rays Physiotherapists - use remote controls to heat muscles and speed up healing

10. Uses Of Infrared Rays Infrared Heaters - our skin and clothes absorb the invisible light; keep us warm

11. Dangers Of Infrared Rays Using infrared heaters in your home can cause cancer. The heaters can reach 800 watts.

12. Facts About Infrared Rays Scientists say that the only antidote to Ultra Violet radiation is infrared radiation treatment.

13. Facts About Infrared Rays Infrared rays are also used to treat acne and reduce blood pressure. There is a story of a man who was being treated with infrared radiation and his pneumonia was cured. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome also responds to infrared radiation treatment. Infrared rays are also used to treat acne and reduce blood pressure.
