Infrared

did not help fight cancer and the FDA stated that when used it presented health hazards. When supplemented it could cause liver and kidney failure and possibly death. Uses of Germanium Some of the common uses of Germanium include; Camera lenses, infrared/night vision optics, integrated circuits, solar panels, and even plastic bottles. Up until the 1950s, Germanium was practically useless. The invention of the transistor, computers, and the influx of electronic usage finally gave Germanium a…

ability of a solid to skip liquid phase and go directly to gas phase, allows for Pluto to maintain this atmosphere for just it's Summer (Redd). The Sun’s electromagnetic radiation, more specifically the infrared radiation, is crucial to the formation of this atmosphere. When the Sun is closer, the infrared radiation heats up the surface of the (*clenches teeth*) dwarf planet, and sublimates the atmosphere (Redd). Pluto’s closest point to the sun is about 4.44 billion kilometers away from the…

the temperature of the earth is rising in a process called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is what happens when solar radiation (light, infrared and ultraviolet) pass through the clear atmosphere. Some of this energy is reflected back into space while the rest of the energy from the radiation is absorbed by the earth and warms it. Infrared radiation is then re-emitted by the earth…

samples were centrifuged and filtered through 0.45 µm filter, diluted suitably and analysed using UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Systronics, India) at λmax of 227nm. All observations were done in triplicate. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was performed to characterize and investigate the interaction between levofloxacin and coformers stearic acid and saccharin sodium used. The FTIR spectra for pure levofloxacin, stearic acid, sodium…

field that would never be possible in person. Converting a handheld DSLR into a camera trap essentially refers to housing the DSLR in a waterproof case (with a window of photo glass) and rigging it up to either an active or passive infrared triggering source. These infrared sensors are triggered by either heat radiation (change in ambient temperature in front of sensor) or movement, or a combination of the two. When the sensor detects the change in temperature or movement, it sends a nearly…

Soft tissue surgery such as resurfacing procedures typically uses a 3 micron YAG laser or 10 micron CO2 laser. Thermography is a medical imaging technique using infrared light. This passive imaging technique senses the thermal emission from the body at wavelengths greater than 8 microns, revealing the temperature of the body. Infrared light can also be applied as a heat treatment to patients. 9.Please explain, what is the wavelength of the carrier wave used by your favorite radio…

The infected bioterrorist, could check into a resort hotel and await the onset of the fever that would indicate that their Zaire ebolavirus is now contagious. The next phase of the attack would begin with the infected, and contagious, terrorist making visits to Walt Disney World, restaurants, or other areas with crowds of people. The Florida heat and humidity would provide perfect cover for the feverish and sweating terrorist as they make physical contact by way of casual brushing up against…

The used solar air collector is a single-glazed plate, we summarise the main components as follows:  A single transparent glass cover of dimensions 4 mm thick, transmits the heat flux to the absorber plate, ensures the reduction of thermal losses due to the heat exchange by convection and radiation and protects the absorber from the outside environment.  A thin copper absorber plate with a black chrome finish on it, which was 1.5 mm thick.  A polystyrene sheet with a thickness of 40 mm,…

vegetation. Increased glacial melting is one casualty of global warming, which is caused by increased greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, and ozone (EPA.gov, 2013;NASA, 2015), which tend to absorb infrared radiation (i.e. heat) that was emitted by the earth’s surface, which would have otherwise gone out to space (Professor Arnott, W. P , personal communication). A glacier is made up of fallen snow, which over many years compresses into…

garage. He then experiments his theory, according to Sagan the dragon is invisible. In his experiment he spreads flour all over the floor to locate footprints but the dragon floats in the air. Next, he tries to detect the fire from the dragon with an infrared sensor, but the dragon produces heatless fire. Lastly, he attempts to spray the dragon with paint, but she’s said to be incorporeal, so the paint doesn’t stick (Sagan). Without actual evidence his theories are…
