Abstract

The infrared energy emitted by thermal sources covers a wide frequency band in the spectrum of electromagnetic waves. Like light, infrared radiation is now understood to have both wave and corpuscular properties. The properties complement each other and never manifest themselves separately. The wavelength λ or the wave number v is usually taken as the parameter to differentiate the types of radiation.
