The infrared radiation

1.Infrared radiation is invisible radiant heat energy 2. Source of infrared radiation : Hot object (stars and flame) The objects below 500C emit infrared rays only. The object above 500C emit infrared rays and red light. 3. Characteristic of infrared radiation : Heating effect can be felt on the skin when it is exposed to infrared rays. Can be detected by heat-sensitive photographic films and infrared sensors.

3.The applications of infrared radiation For cooking- ovens, grills and toaster Infrared lamps to dry paint on cars

Night vision goggles

1.Night vision is optical instruments that allows one to see in the dark. 2.3 Type of night vision goggle

a. PASSIVE NIGHT-VISSION GOGGLES

- Characteristic : Pick up any light in the given area and amplify it several thousands time. The light detected will collide with a detector plate and the metal ejects several electrons that are amplified into a cascade of electron that light up a phosphor screen. - Application : War reporting tinting the picture green

b. ACTIVE NIGHT-VISSION GOGGLES - Characteristic : Infrared light are the same type used by a remote control. Produce an image from the light reflected back. These goggle may require an image enhancer to amplify the light. - Application : Digital camera

c. Heat-sensing / infrared goggles - Characteristic : Shows emits normal heat radiation the given area. Special photographic films are sensitive to infrared light can take pictures in dark without a flash light. - Application : Taking photographs in the dark
