The following information is about Infrared Radiation (IR).

Infrared Radiation (IR) Defined

Energy that is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves at a wavelength greater than about 750 up to approximately 30,000 nanometers. Although the earth absorbs almost all the IR, UV, and visible radiation the hits it, the surface of the earth emits only the longest wavelength radiation of these three, IR, in any significant amounts. It is this re-emission of IR towards space--and its subsequent absorbance, re-emission and scattering--that contributes to the process that heats the atmosphere. This re-emission and subsequent heating is a part of the greenhouse effect. [Solid State Communications; v88; 939; 1993] [Journal of Geophysical Research; v97; 11,513, 1992.]
