Two of the types of infrared light, ir-c and ir-a, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 3000 to 1,000,000 nm for ir-c and from 700 to 1400 nm for ir-
a. compare the energy of microwaves, ir-c, and ir-
a.

The energy of electromagnetic waves can be calculated by using the following formula:

where:

is the Planck constant

is the speed of light

is the wavelength of the wave

Substituting the various wavelengths in the formula, we find:

IR-C:

-->

-->

IR-A:

-->

-->

Therefore, we see that IR-A have higher energy than IR-C.
