infrared
<electronics> (IR) Electromagnetic waves in the frequency range just below visible light corresponding to radiated heat. IR waves can be generated by a kind of LED and are often used for remote controls for televisions etc. and in some docking stations.

INFRARED
The long wave, electromagnetic radiation of radiant heat emitted by all hot objects. On the electromagnetic spectrum, it can be found between microwave radiation and visible light. Water vapor, ozone, and carbon dioxide are capable of absorbing or transmitting infrared radiation. May be referred to as IR.

infrared (IR)
Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between visible red light and microwaves; it ranges from 750 to 1 million nanometers (1 millimeter). Infrared is subdivided into near (NIR, 750 to 2,500 nanometers), middle (MIR, 2,500 to 30,000 nanometers), and far (FIR, 30,000 to 1 million nanometers). [See also radiation].

Infrared
Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer than visible light. The range is approximately between 10-6 and 10-4 metres. Infrared radiation is often observed from protostars and other objects which are deeply buried within dense interstellar clouds. Visible light is attenuated by these clouds but they can be penetrated by the longer wavelengths of infrared.

Infrared
1. The region of electromagnetic waves between around 700nm and 0.1mm in wavelength. Includes all the wavelengths that are transmitted in optical networks. (Visible light ranges from around 400nm to 700nm.) 2. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum bounded by the long-wavelength extreme of the visible spectrum (about 0.7 pm) and the shortest microwaves about 0.1 mm).

Infrared
Light that is so red humans cannot see it. A band of the electromagnetic spectrum between the visible and the microwave. Photons of infrared light are less energetic than photons of visible light.

Infrared
Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The name means "below red" (from the Latin infra, "below"), red being the color of visible light with the longest wavelength. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between about 750 nm and 1 mm, spanning five orders of magnitude.
