The range of electromagnetic spectrum important in heat transfer by radiation is ______________ microns?

Correct answer: B. 0.5-50

  • A. 0.38-0.78
  • B. 0.5-50
  • C. 100-1000
  • D. 5-50

Explanation

Most thermal radiation of engineering interest lies roughly in the infrared range, extending approximately from 0.5 to 50 micrometres. The 0.38-0.78 micrometre range is mainly visible light, not the broader heat-transfer radiation band.
