How Infrared Radiation Was Discovered—Range of This Discovery and Detailed, Unknown Information

The reason for writing this article is that the details and mainly the scope of the fundamental discovery of infrared radiation are not widely known, and different accounts of this story are found in the literature. For example, not everyone knows that the discoverer of infrared radiation, F. W. Her...
