Does germanium emit far infrared radiation?

Yes, germanium does emit far infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and germanium is known for its semiconducting properties that allow it to emit and detect infrared radiation. This property makes it useful in various applications such as night vision devices and infrared sensors.

How do human beings perceive infrared radiation?

Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than the red part of the visible spectrum (hence the name infrared for below red) and is invisible to the human eye. However humans do sense infrared as heat. So when you are warming yourself on a cold day with a roaring fire or hands around a hot drink it is the infrared radiation you are feeling.


What objects in space emit infrared radiation?

Objects in space that emit infrared radiation include planets like Jupiter and Saturn, stars like red giants and brown dwarfs, dust clouds, and galaxies. These objects emit infrared radiation due to their temperature and composition, which allows astronomers to study them using infrared telescopes.
