Infrared is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths longer than visible light, but shorter than radio waves radiation. Infrared rays contained in the firelight, sunlight, radiators or the reflection of roadvehicles are exposed to hot asphalt.

wavelengths between 700 nm and 1 mm (These wavelengths correspond to a frequency range of approximately 1 to 400 THz)

In the early 19th century. Herschel published his results in 1800 before the Royal Society of London. Herschel use a prism to refract light from the sun and detected the infrared, beyond the red part of the spectrum, through an increase in the temperature recorded on a thermometer. He was surprised at the result and called them "Calorific Rays". The term 'Infrared' did not appear until late in the 19th century.

- can not be seen by humans - can not penetrate opaque materials - can be caused by components that generate heat - wavelength is inversely proportional to temperature

Infrared can be differentiated into three regions ,


Near Infra red0.75 - 1.5 m Mid Infra red.....1.50 - 10 m Far Infra red...10 - 100 m

Night vision Thermography Hyperspectral imaging detection of bird flu virus and swine flu And many more

A device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light. This increase in resistance will cause an increase in the temperature of the connection or component. Excessive heat can be readily noted and the temperature rise measured by the infrared camera. Increased temperatures indicate potential trouble spots which could lead to failure of the component.
