The Truth About Infrared Heat https://ift.tt/2GSpKN3 Have you ever wondered what makes your body feel warm, even on a cloudy day? What about the heat your body emits when you give a friend a hug? Or, have you stopped to think about what the warmth our sun produces is? Well, we have, and the answer to these questions is infrared! Infrared is light or energy that we cannot see but feel as heat. When we think about the word "light," a picture of the sun, a lamp or a light bulb may pop into our heads. However, visible light is just a small portion of the light energy all around us, and we experience small amounts of this safe, natural and effective heat nearly every day. The spectrum of light we will explore in this blog is called the electromagnetic spectrum, and it includes light radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma rays. Yes, we said radiation, and not all radiation is harmful! Radiation is the release of energy in the form of moving waves or streaming particles. Infrared is part of a naturally occurring process, and because the earth itself emits radiation, all living things on the planet do as well. The technical definition often heard is that infrared is the portion of the invisible spectrum that is touching the red end of the visible spectrum that we can see and that contains electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths ranging from 800nm to 1mm. What is the connection between heat and light? Scientists confirm that everything in our universe that is warm also gives off light. Examples include the stars, planets, and people. Experts refer to this concept as blackbody radiation, and Cool Cosmos says “Every object in the Universe, even one that is as black as a lump of charcoal, will give off this light. Where this light falls in the spectrum, however, depends on the temperature of the object.” Thus, the reason our sun is so bright as well as why people do not show a visible glow to the naked eye.
