Give reason for the following :
(i) Infrared radiations are used for photography in fog.
(ii) Infrared radiations are used for signals during the war.
(iii) The photographic darkrooms are provided with the infrared lamps.
(iv) A rock salt prism is used instead of a glass prism to obtain the infrared spectrum.
(v) A quartz prism is required for obtaining the spectrum of the ultraviolet light.
(vi) Ultraviolet bulbs have a quartz envelope instead of glass.
(i) Infrared radiations are used in photography in fog because they are not much scattered by the atmosphere, so they can penetrate appreciably through it.
(ii) Infrared radiations are used as signals during the war as they are not visible and they are not absorbed much in the medium.
(iii) Infrared lamps are used in dark rooms for developing photographs since they do not affect the photographic film chemically, but they provide some visibility.
(iv) Infrared spectrum can be obtained only with the help of a rock-salt prism since the rock-salt prism does not absorb infrared radiations whereas a glass prism absorbs them.
(v) A quartz prism is used to obtain the spectrum of the ultraviolet radiations as they are not absorbed by quartz, whereas ordinary glass absorbs the ultraviolet light.
(vi) Ultraviolet bulbs have a quartz envelope instead of glass as they are not absorbed by quartz, whereas ordinary glad absorbs the ultraviolet light.
