INFRA RED

Infrared radiations (IRR) areelectromagnetic radiation that lieswithin that part of electromagnetic

spectrum between visible light andmicrowave radiation.

IR has no color, it is detected by warmth

IR is emitted from any heated bodyIts wavelength is higher than visible light

IR has a wavelength of 760nm to mm

Infrared

Infrared is produced as a result of

molecular motion within heatedmaterials. All hot bodies emit IR asincrease the temperature of anmaterial aboveabsolute zeroresult in

vibration and rotation of moleculewithin the material .

The wavelengthof the emitted IR are

determined b the temperatureof thematerial. The higher the temperatureof the bod the higher the fre*uencand the shorter the wavelength.

Non-luminous ie coil heater8 Non-luminous sources are those

which produce infrared radiationfrom a non-glowing source such asmoist heat pac1s and non-luminous

IR lamps Non-luminous infrared lamp

consists of a coiled resistance wire

which embedded within a ceramicinsulating material

Non - luminous sources emit mainl

long or far IR radiation.

Absorption and penetrationof IRR

IRR is strongl absorbed near thes1in surface and the heat is carriedto deeper tissues b conduction andb the circulating /uids.

The absorption and penetration ofIRR ras depend on+

ras

- Angle of incidence of the ras.
