Application of Infrared Visible Light and UV

Infrared radiation lies beyond the visible red light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and is used for applications like infrared photography, medical scanning, and remote controls. Visible light can be separated by a prism into the colors of the visible spectrum and is essential for photosynthesis. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than visible light and is used to check signatures marked with fluorescent ink under UV lamps.

APPLICATION OF

INFRARED, VISIBLE
LIGHT AND UV LIGHTS
INFRARED (INVISIBLE HEAT)
• Infrared waves are in the lower-middle range of frequencies in the EM
spectrum.
• Infrared radiation lies beyond the red end of the visible light.
• The size of infrared waves ranges from a few millimeters down to
microscopic lengths.
• The longer-wavelength infrared waves produce heat and include radiation
emitted by fire, the sun and other heat-producing objects;
• shorter-wavelength infrared rays do not produce much heat and are used in
remote controls and imaging technologies.
•
-The amount and wavelength of radiation depend on temperature.

-Below 5000C, an object emits only infrared radiation.


-Above 5000C, an object glows and emits both infrared and visible light.
- The difference in color determine the differences in temperature.-
- For examples shades of blue and green indicate regions of colder
temperature;
- and red and yellow indicate warmer temperature
- The human eye is not sensitive to the infrared light used by television remote
controls.
USEFUL APPLICATIONS OF INFRARED
RADIATION:
• . Infrared photographs taken from a satellite with special films provide useful
details of the vegetation on the Earth’s surface.
• 2. Infrared scanners are used to show the temperature variation of the body.
This can be used for medical diagnosis.
• 3. Infrared remote controls
• 4. Infrared camera has transmitter that sends out infrared pulses.
• 5. A night-vision google.
APPLICATIONS OF VISIBLE LIGHT
• When white light passes through a prism, it is separated into its constituent colors: the red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
• These colors do not distinctly separate but they continuously change from red to violet.
• Red color has the longest wavelength from among these colors and violet has the shortest.
• Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic waves of wavelengths that ranges from 4x10-7 m
to 7x10-7 m, this is the range of white light.
• Visible light is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which green plant makes food.
• Other forms of life eat either green plants or animals that have eaten green plant.
• Forms of energy taken from the sun used by plants and microorganisms million years ago
are locked up in coal and oil used as energy resources today
PRODUCTION OF LIGHT
• There are several which in which a luminous object can be made to give off energy in
the form of light.
• A luminous object can produce incandescent light, fluorescent light and neon light.
Application of Ultraviolet Radiation (Heat Energy )
- Ultraviolet radiation lies just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum.
- Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than the visible light and carry more energy.
-The sun is our main source of ultraviolet radiation but there are also artificial sources of
UV light.
• Ultraviolet radiation in UV lamps are used by banks to check
the signature on a passbook.
• The signature is marked on the passbook with fluorescent ink.
• It becomes visible when viewed under an UV lamp.
• These lamps are also used to identify fake banknotes
