Infrared (IR) Radiation
Infrared radiation ($750 \text{ nm}$ to $1 \text{ mm}$) is characterized by its strong correlation with thermal energy. All objects above absolute zero emit IR radiation. The Near-IR, Mid-IR, and Far-IR divide the region based on molecular vibrational modes. A notable physical quirk of the [Far-IR](… -
