Infrared spectroscopy — (IR spectroscopy) is the subset of spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It covers a range of techniques, the most common being a form of absorption spectroscopy. As with all spectroscopic techniques,… … Wikipedia
Infrared astronomy — is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in infrared (IR) radiation. Visible radiation ranges from 400 nm (blue) to 700 nm (red). Longer wavelengths than 700 nm but still shorter than microwaves are called… … Wikipedia
