These wave energies travel across a straight line and are absorbed by matter around them. They can also be dispersed, focused or reflected by means of lenses or prism. The infrared waves flood an area with radiant energy increasing temperature. Different substances have inherent properties in absorption of radiant waves; thus leading to several applications where infrared heating can be used against other forms of heating. They are available in short, medium and long wavelengths and are best suited for three-dimensional objections as radiation absorption raises the temperature uniformly.
