Question based on a textbook side note

Can electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum, and what does infrared mean?

برقی مقناطیسی موجیں خلا میں چل سکتی ہیں اور انفرا ریڈ کا کیا مطلب ہے؟

Solution & explanation

Yes: they need no material medium. Infrared lies below red in frequency and beyond red in wavelength. Warm objects emit thermal infrared; infrared itself is electromagnetic radiation, not moving hot air.
