What is the difference between infrared and red light

The main difference is that the nature of different, different functions and roles, different applications, as follows:

I, the nature of different

1, infrared

Infrared light is the frequency of microwave and visible light between the electromagnetic waves.

2, red light

Red light, is the use of visible light 600-700nm (accounting for more than 90%), infrared light 700-4000nm (accounting for less than 10%) of the integrated light waves for external irradiation, so that it produces important biological effects and therapeutic effects.

Second, the function and role of different

1, infrared

has a high temperature sterilization, equipment monitoring, medical and other efficacy and role.

2, red light

Cells in the mitochondria of the red light absorption is the largest, in the red light irradiation, mitochondrial catalase activity increases, which can increase the cellular metabolism; so that the glycogen content increases, protein synthesis and adenosine triphosphate decomposition increases, thereby strengthening the cellular neonatal, promote the healing of wounds and ulcers, and at the same time, also increase phagocytosis of white blood cells, improve the The body's immune function.

Three, the application of different

1, infrared

Applied to communication, detection, medical, military and other aspects.

2, red light

Mainly used in clinical applications can treat a variety of diseases.
