Question

Two of the types of infrared light, IR-B and IR-A, are both components of sunlight. Their wavelengths range from 1400 to 3000 nm for IR-B and from 700 to 1400 nm for IR-A. Compare the energy of microwaves, IR-B, and IR-A.

Answer 1

To compare the energy of microwaves, IR-B, and IR-A, we need to compare how long the wavelengths are for each wave. Through the intervals given, we can determine that we in order from greatest to least energy, the order is IR-A, IR-B, microwaves.
