What gives off IR?

The most common form of IR radiation comes from anything that is hot; heated objects cool down through radiation as well as convection and conduction. This radiated heat converts to IR radiation - this is why IR goggles work well in low light conditions (as long as there's a heat difference).

What is the difference between IR and FT IR instruments?

A standard IR runs a single spectrum. An FT-IR uses an interferometer and makes several scans and then uses Fourier Transforms to convert the interferogram into an infrared spectrum.


How a campfire and microwave are examples of heat transfer through radiation?

Standing next to a campfire you will be warmed by its radiant heat (IR radiation).However a microwave cooker generates heat by boiling water inside the food, then the steam heats the food by a combination of conduction and convection (not radiation). There is some trivial heating of the microwave cooker's walls by IR radiation from the hot food, but this is so trivial you will not be able to measure it and the steam from the food will still condense on the cold walls (which is transfer through convection and warm them more than the IR radiation did).Note: microwave radiation is NOT thermal radiation (IR radiation) and must be transformed to become heat.


Most of the solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface is later radiated back into space as which type of electromagnetic radiation?

Thermal IR radiation.
