Clearly, depending on what it is that we want to observe, we need to look in different parts of the spectrum, and no one part will tell us everything. The Earth’s atmosphere transmits well in the visible and radio regions, but it blocks out everything from gamma rays to ultraviolet and most of the infrared.  So to study the Universe at those wavelengths we need to launch space-borne observatories.

Clouds of interstellar gas and dust that form stars are typically at temperatures of about 50 K (that’s about –220oC). They glow at far infrared wavelengths and are brightest at about 100 microns (red line in the graph above).  And the universe itself is filled with radiation corresponding to a temperature of just less than 3 K – very cold indeed – with peak emission in the millimetre wavelength range (blue line in the graph above).

The electromagnetic spectrum spans a wide range of wavelengths from very short wavelength and highly energetic gamma rays to very long wavelength and low-energy radio waves. The visible part of the spectrum is only a small portion. Infrared light is the same as the light that we can see except that the wavelength is longer and outside the range that our eyes can sense.

In today's digital world, screens, artificial light, and the sun are unavoidable. But you can defend your eyes against excessive blue light exposure with Blokz® lenses. As essential as sunscreen is for your skin, Blokz® lenses protect your eyes and promote better sleep, empowering you to see, work, feel, and look your best.

In fact all objects glow (emit electromagnetic radiation), and they do this in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that depends on their temperature. The diagram below shows how bright objects of different temperatures appear at difference wavelengths.

Blue light, which is a high-energy visible (HEV) light with wavelengths between 380 and 500 nanometers, is emitted by various sources, including digital screens, LED lights, and the sun. While blue light is essential for regulating our circadian rhythm and boosting alertness during the day, excessive exposure, especially in the evening, can have several harmful effects on our health.

It is interesting that the basic technique used by Herschel to discover infrared radiation is still used in modern instruments today, including instruments on board the Herschel satellite – the only real difference is a factor a billion or so in sensitivity.

Blokz® lenses are crafted with an advanced blue light blocking polymer that filters blue light, ensuring all day protection.

“I have to admit that I was extremely skeptical. I spend many hours a day in front of monitors and under fluorescent light. I purchased one pair of non-prescription Blokz®. I immediately noticed my eyes feeling less tired and strained. I was so impressed, I ordered a second pair.”

Blokz® blue light filter glasses may help reduce strain on the eyes and alleviate digital eye discomfort to enhance screen protection. Glasses from Zenni don’t just protect your eyes — they help you do it in style. Find the perfect pair today!

Infrared radiation was discovered by William Herschel in 1800. He was studying the heating effect of different colours of light by using a prism to produce a spectrum of colours and thermometers to measure their heating effect. He noticed that the heating effect got stronger as he went from the blue end of the spectrum to the red. In a moment of inspiration, he moved the thermometer beyond the visible red end and found that the heating effect was even greater.

We humans, slightly warmer than room temperature, glow in the mid infrared and we’re brightest at about 10 microns wavelength (black line in the graph).   These days we are all familiar with infrared imaging, which allows us to see in the dark using electronic detectors that record infrared light emitted by warm objects such as people.  The pictures below show SPIRE team member Prof. Peter Ade in visible light (wavelength about 0.5 micron) and infrared light (about 10 microns).

The whole region with wavelengths ranging from 1 micron to 1 mm is loosely called the “infrared”, but astronomers tend to break this up into sub-regions:  the “near infrared” (from 1 to 5 microns); the “mid infrared” (5 to 30 microns), the “far infrared” (from 30 to 300 microns) and the “submillimetre” (from 300 microns to 1 mm).  The exact boundaries are somewhat arbitrary, and the exact definitions can vary.

The Sun has a surface temperature of nearly 6000 Kelvin (where the Kelvin temperature scale is the same as the familiar Centigrade scale except that the zero degrees C is about 273 degrees Kelvin). Its radiation peaks in the visible part of the spectrum at wavelengths of about half a micron, as shown by the yellow-green line in the graph above.

Blue light, or HEV light, is a color in the visible light spectrum that the human eye can see. As a short wavelength, it produces higher amounts of energy. The eyes cannot effectively filter blue light as opposed to other types of light, so it may pass through the eye to the retina.
