________________ electronics circuits. The frequency of microwaves lies between 10-19 - 3 x 1011 Hz Hz. The microwaves are used in radar and other communication systems. Radiowaves. Like microwaves, radiowaves are also produced by oscillating electronic circuits. The frequency of radiowaves varies from a few Hz to 10-19 Hz. The radiowaves are used as carrier waves in radio broadcasting and TV transmission.

Gupta, op. cit, p. 739 — "Infra-red rays were discovered by Herschell. Infra-red rays are heat radiation and therefore all hot bodies are the sources of infra-red rays. About 60% of the solar radiation is infra-red in nature. Following are a few sources to produce infra-red rays. 1. Nernst lamp. The filament of Nernst lamp is made from the mixture of ziroconium, thorium and cerium. When a current is passed through such a filament, then at a temperature of about 1200 K, infra-red rays are emitted. Globar. It is basically a rod of silicon carbode. Which when heated to a temperature of about 900 K by passing current, produces infra-red rays. 102 TAHT YFI sich 120-121 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
