| The photocathode in the night scope that converts visible light into electrons is sensitive to both visible light and some infrared radiation. |
| Tinted and mirrored films reduce the quantity of both visible light and infrared radiation entering the occupied space. |
| Because glass does not transmit infrared radiation very efficiently, refracting telescopes are unsuitable for most kinds of infrared astronomy. |
| Stars like our Sun emit primarily in the visible region, and cooler objects like planets emit invisible infrared radiation. |
| The peculiar reflectance of infrared radiation by plants forms the main source of remotely sensed information about the biosphere on land. |
| Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will lead to increased trapping of infrared radiation. |
