Preferred Label : infrared;
IUPAC acronym : CIE;
IUPAC definition : Region of the electromagnetic spectrum extending from 780 nm to about 20000 nm. br/
According to the CIE, the range between 780 nm and 1 mm is subdivided into: br/ IR-A
780–1400 nm br/ IR-B 1.4–3 µm br/ IR-C 3 µm–1 mm;
Scope note : this is the wavelength region in which absorption by a molecular entity causes excitation
of its vibrational, rotational, and bending modes.;
