Infrared waves

Radiation. Mainly by infrared waves (but also in the visible band, e.g. solar radiation), which are independent of contact or an intermediate fluid. [Pg.6]

Compositions whose products of combustion produce energy in the infrared wave band are generally composed of magnesium powder, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a binder. For efficient tactical utilization of the energy developed by the combustion process the composition is normally formed into pellets either by press consolidation or by press extrusion. The process being used at Longhorn at the time the electrostatic problem was encountered was press consolidation. The composition was being consolidated into a pellet... [Pg.286]

Microwave Designating the part of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with the larger infrared waves and the shorter radio waves, between 1 and 10 mm. [Pg.256]

A similar effect occurs in Earth s atmosphere, which, like glass, is transparent to visible light emitted by the sun. The ground absorbs this energy but radiates infrared waves. [Pg.597]

Was this your answer Earth s atmosphere and glass both allow incoming visible waves to pass but not outgoing infrared waves. As a result, radiant energy is trapped. [Pg.598]

Place the drawings on the poster. (Be sure that the color of the longest wavelength, red, is oriented beside the infrared wave group, and that the color of shortest wavelength, violet, is oriented beside the ultraviolet wave group.)... [Pg.13]

The energy released in a chemical change is not always visible. Often heat energy transmitted through infrared waves is released. In addition, ultraviolet waves are often released when a chemical change takes place. [Pg.83]

Various Types of Electromagnetic Radiations The various types of electromagnetic radiations are radiowaves, microwaves, infrared waves, ultraviolet waves, visible light, X-rays, g-rays, cosmic rays, etc. [Pg.258]

Infrared waves have less energy than visible light. Infrared radiation is given off by the human body and most other warm objects. We experience infrared rays as the radiant heat you feel near a fire or an electric heater. [Pg.72]

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. How are these waves alike ... [Pg.81]

A related method that has been applied to Langmuir monolayers is sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy.The signal is generated by mixing an infrared wave of frequency (u,r with a visible wave of frequency CO to yield an output cosp. When co,r matches a vibrational frequency, there is a resonant enhancement of the output. The nonlinear polarization that governs the SFG process can be written... [Pg.412]

Microwave radiation consists of electromagnetic waves somewhat longer than infrared waves (from about 10 meters, or 0.3937 inches, to 1 meter, or 39.37 inches, long) and having a lower frequency, ranging from about... [Pg.1075]
