DEFINITION

Classification: 264/458

Infrared radiation:

(under subclass 454) Processes wherein the energy applied is considered to have a frequency range with wavelengths longer than those of visible light and shorter than those of radio waves.

(1) Note. Infrared radiation, measured using the electromagnetic wave spectrum, is that portion which is visible to the eye, lying between wavelengths of 750 nm (0.75 micrometers) and about 1 mm (1000 micrometers).
