Give two differences between visible light and infrared light

Explanation:

Visible light has a wavelength that ranges from 380 nm – 750 nm on the electromagnetic spectrum while infrared light is just beyond it, ranging from 700 nm – 1 mm, the start of the non-visible portion of the spectrum. As a result, infrared cannot be seen except with special equipment like a security camera

Visible light is the common lighting method and we see it all around us. It is used in homes, work areas, factory floors, parking lots, loading docks, etc. They are also used as warning systems and to provide lighting for CCTV cameras in public places. The presence of floodlights warns intruders that their actions are being monitored.

Infrared light, however, is used when the intention is to monitor intruders covertly. Without a bright light to warn them about the presence of security cameras, intruders no longer feel the need to avoid surveillance, leaving them exposed to the IR-illuminated cameras.

1. For humans, we can only see visible light, but can't see infrared.

2. Infrared have longer wavelengths than visible light.
