Infrared Radiation Therapy; Types, Uses, Warning

Infrared Radiation Therapy (IR) sometimes called infrared light is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye, although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nanometers (nm)s from especially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions.[rx][rx] IR wavelengths extend from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers (frequency 430 THz), to 1 millimeter (300 GHz).[rx] Most of the thermal radiation emitted by … [Read more…]
