Abstract:Infrared and mm waves have become very useful for night vision equipments, heat seeking missiles, molecular spectroscopy and infrared astronomy. Among other things the trapping of infrared radiations by atmospheric gases is also the basis of green house effects. In infrared astronomy, we make study of astronomical objects by observing infrared radiations they emit. Such celestial bodies can not be seen from the earth, because they do not emit much visible light or that light is blocked by dust and cloud, which… Show more
