Humans emit electromagnetic radiation across two primary regions of the spectrum: thermal radiation in the infrared region and ultraweak bioluminescence in the visible light spectrum.

1. Thermal Infrared Emission (Blackbody Radiation)

• Wavelength Range: 3–14 µm (Mid-to-Far Infrared), peaking around 9.3–10 µm.
• Mechanism: Driven by metabolic heat production. The human body at 37^\circ\text{C} (310\text{ K}) behaves approximately like a blackbody radiator, transferring heat into the environment via electromagnetic waves.
• Visibility: Completely invisible to the naked human eye; detectable via thermal imaging cameras and long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensors.
• Power Output: A typical resting adult continuously radiates around 100 Watts of thermal energy.

2. Ultraweak Photon Emission (Biophotons)

• Wavelength Range: 300–700 nm (Near-Ultraviolet through the Visible Light spectrum, peaking around 500–600 nm in the green-yellow zone).
• Mechanism: A metabolic byproduct of cellular respiration. Free radicals produced during mitochondrial activity react with lipids and proteins, exciting fluorophores that release photons as they drop back to ground state.
• Visibility: Technically within the visible spectrum, but 1,000 times weaker than the minimum sensitivity of the human eye. It requires cryogenically cooled Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) cameras or photomultiplier tubes to capture.
• Fluctuation: Fluctuates on a circadian cycle, peaking in the late afternoon (around 4:00 PM) and dropping to its lowest point late at night. The face and head emit the highest intensity due to increased exposure to metabolic stress and UV light.
