Difference between Apparent magnitude and Infrared

Apparent magnitude vs. Infrared

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light.

Similarities between Apparent magnitude and Infrared

Apparent magnitude and Infrared have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Black body, Human eye, Infrared astronomy, Irradiance, Photometric system, Planck's law, Sun, Telescope, Ultraviolet, Visible spectrum.

Black body

A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence.

Irradiance

In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux (power) received by a surface per unit area.

Photometric system

In astronomy, a photometric system is a set of well-defined passbands (or filters), with a known sensitivity to incident radiation.

Planck's law

Planck's law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T. The law is named after Max Planck, who proposed it in 1900.

Telescope

A telescope is an optical instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light).

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

Apparent magnitude and Infrared Comparison

Apparent magnitude has 159 relations, while Infrared has 202. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 2.77% = 10 / (159 + 202).
