Infrared radiation is often used in thermography to detect heat patterns emitted by objects, providing insights that visible light cannot reveal. For instance, in building inspections, infrared cameras can identify heat leaks or moisture issues within walls that appear undamaged under visible light, allowing for better energy efficiency and maintenance.
n 2-3 sentences, explain an example in which electromagnetic radiation other than visible light can be used to show us more about an object than visible light alone.
