Lesson Summary. Infrared radiation is made up of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between 700 nm (nanometers) and 1 mm, just beyond what our eyes can detect on the red side of the spectrum. Most warm objects in our everyday experiences emit infrared, and half of the energy produced by the Sun is also infrared.his lesson will explain what infrared radiation is, and discuss a number of practical uses and effects of infrared, including its connection to climate change and the way the atmosphere responds to infrared waves.
Typical costs: Vinyl siding is relatively low-cost, low-maintenance and easy to install. It costs less than $1 a square foot for a do-it-yourself project, or $1,000-$1,250 for 1,250 exterior square feet. Having it professionally installed runs $2-$7 a square foot, or $2,500-$8,750 for 1,250 square feet.
1 The average vinyl siding cost is $2 to $12 per square foot installed. 2  For a typical home with 1,500 exterior square feet, that works out to a total cost of $3,000 to $18,000.inyl Siding Average Costs. 1  The average vinyl siding cost is $2 to $12 per square foot installed. 2  Trim pieces will raise the overall cost a bit because they are more labor-intensive, as will soffit, fascia, and window channels if they are not included in the estimate. 3  Removing old siding might cost $1,500 to $3,500.
