Why does infrared look green




















People don't often think of the sheer intensity of IR radiation around us. Come to think of it, the wall in my office is likely radiating several KW of thermal IR. And Absorbing the same for balance. The point is you're not counting the "power of the visible light. Re: your wall: entropy can only move one way or the other at the same time. EIther the wall is warmer than the air in your office and is radiating energy into the room or the wall is cooler than the air in your office and is absorbing energy from the room.

No, the "power of the visible light" is just that. It's the watts the very definition of power of only the visible portion of light from the , lumen lamp. Lumens are a spectrally weighted measure of only visible light, And the power again, watts in those , lumens is less than the power of the IR radiated from a single human though, of course it contains 0 lumens since it isn't visible. It does imply that incident, absorbed IR matches radiated IR. They are separate processes though. Show 4 more comments.

As null said, infrared is an invisible to the eye band of frequencies beyond what we can see. BobT BobT 5, 18 18 silver badges 30 30 bronze badges. Infrared is a color.

Phoenix as I said, your smartphone looks black, whether it's emiting other parts of the spectrum or not. There's no such thing as color intrinsic in electromagnetic radiation. Phoenix Everything you perceive as grayscale uses wavelengths from within the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared is electromagnetic radiation that is outside of the wavelengths visible to human eyes. If you are in a room illuminated only by infrared, you'd see absolutely nothing.

The room would appear to be pure black to your eyes. Phoenix Have you read any of the suggested duplicates and related questions placed in comments above? First paragraph correct. Modern vs WW2 military camoflage is an example. Second paragraph seldom true. For instance chlorophyll in leaves reflects IR and looks white in IR photographs. Green will look very dark through a red filter. Similarly, black articles of clothing will still look black through a red filter, but will usually look white through an IR filter.

Soldiers carried an IR illuminator to shoot a beam of near-infrared light that then reflected off objects and bounced back to the lens of their scope and created a visible image of what they were looking at. The technology made huge leaps in the following decades, and by the time the U.

As the electrons move through the tube, they flow through a microchannel plate, which is a disc with millions of tiny holes, or microchannels, in it. This is a false-color image, just like the one of the cat. False-color infrared images of the Earth frequently use a color scheme like the one shown here, where infrared light is mapped to the visible color of red. This means that everything in this image that appears red is giving off or reflecting infrared light.

This makes vegetation like grasa and trees appear to be red. The visible light waves drawn on this picture are green, and the infrared ones are darker red.

This is an image of Phoenix, Arizona showing the near infrared data collected by the Landsat 5 satellite. The light areas are areas with high reflectance of near infrared waves.

The dark areas show little reflectance. What do you think the black grid lines in the lower right of this image represent? This image shows the infrared data appearing as red composited with visible light data at the blue and green wavelengths. Crops nearing the end of the growing season, or dead or unhealthy plants will appear in various light tones of red and pink, or greens and tans.

Pale or light blue can also represent sediment-laden water. Buildings and manmade materials such as concrete and dry gravel generally appear white to light blue in CIR photos. Dark blue to black - Water ranges from shades of blue to black depending on the clarity and depth. Usually, the clearer the water, the darker the color.

However, shallow streams will often display the colors associated with the materials in their stream beds. If the stream bed is made of sand, the color will appear white or very light tan due to the high reflective property of sand. Asphalt roads generally appear dark blue to black.

Roll over the photo above with your mouse to see it in color-infrared What is it good for?
