    Infrared radiation was discovered in 1800 by Sir William Herschel. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, ranging from 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. Nearly half of the energy from the Sun that reaches Earth is in the form of infrared radiation. Infrared is emitted or absorbed when molecules change their rotational and vibrational movements, and it is used in a variety of applications including night vision, thermal imaging, spectroscopy, wireless communication, and weather forecasting.
