Infrared vs Pseudophotosphere - What's the difference?

infrared | pseudophotosphere |


As nouns the difference between infrared and pseudophotosphere

is that infrared is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than visible light, but shorter than microwave radiation, having a wavelength between 700 nm and 1 mm while pseudophotosphere is (astronomy) the equivalent of a photosphere in radiation other than visible light (especially in infrared).

As an adjective infrared

is having the wavelength in the infrared.

Infrared vs Reradiate - What's the difference?

infrared | reradiate |


As a noun infrared

is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than visible light, but shorter than microwave radiation, having a wavelength between 700 nm and 1 mm.

As an adjective infrared

is having the wavelength in the infrared.

As a verb reradiate is

to absorb some amount of radiative energy, and then later emit that energy in the form of radiative energy. The term is most often used in discussion of absorption of light or infrared radiation.
