Practice question

**Infrared waves** λ≈700 nm to 1 mm, f≈10¹² to 4×10¹⁴ Hz, produced by hot bodies and molecular vibrations, wavelength range as per document 700 nm-1 mm, used in remote sensing because IR penetrates haze, thermal imaging detects IR emitted by objects, remote controls, effective for sensing temperature. The document explains that infrared waves are absorbed by water molecules, increasing their thermal motion and thus heating the material. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields They increase thermal motion in materials, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
