Infrared

anonymous · Answer

even the optical spectrum via photo voltaic cells.

anonymous · Answer

why not gamma? they have the max frequency no? so max energy.....

anonymous · Answer

You are correct but they are harder to capture and convert to heat the efficiency is very low and the energy while great for a photon is counteracted by the reduce number that can be generated.  For example a cobalt-60 source of 5000 curies  very strong. surrounded by a lead shield very thick  to absorb the gamma rays heats the shield as if a 60 watt (and estimate) light bulb were placed in the shield.
