Quantum energy of microwave photons is in the range 0.00001 to 0.001 eV
Human body transparent to microwaves
Quantum States: Molecular rotation and torsion
Quantum million times lower than X-rays(ionizing radiation=damage)
Radio astronomy 30ghz – 1Thz
Infrared(IR)- “infra” – below, Region of spectrum, Below the visible red.
Used: Tracking, Night vision, remote controls
FarInfrared(FIR) – LF portion of IR, waves are thermal, penetrates skin cells
NearInfrared – Short wave lengths (TV’s Remote Control)
Quantum Energy of infrared photons range 0.001 to 1.7 eV
Quantum States: Molecular Vibrations
-absorbed more than microwaves, less visible light
