At the core of infrared heating is the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and the atoms within objects. When objects are exposed to infrared influence, the photons, or particles of light, interact with the atoms at a subatomic level. This interaction initiates a fascinating dance at the molecular level.

As the photons collide with the atoms, they transfer energy, causing the atoms to vibrate and spin more rapidly. This heightened motion at the subatomic level is what we perceive as an increase in temperature. It’s a microscopic ballet where energy is exchanged, and the result is the generation of heat.
