Answer to Question 1

This appears to be the case. Human beings react in comfort terms to the radiative
properties of a room. A room surrounded by radiating walls seems warmer than one
warmed to the same temperature by other means.

Answer to Question 2

Ultraviolet radiation actually has a greater energy than that of visible light. The
problem is more that there is such a small amount of ultraviolet available.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
