2. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

   An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called black-body radiation emitted by the object being measured. They are sometimes called laser thermometers as a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers or temperature guns , to describe the ...

3. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   An infrared thermometer is a kind of pyrometer . All objects above absolute zero emit blackbody radiation for which the spectra is directly proportional to the temperature. This property is the basis for a pyrometer or infrared thermometer and thermography. It has the advantage of remote temperature sensing; it does not require contact or even ...

4. Infrared - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

   Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation", [31] but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them. Infrared light from the Sun accounts for 49% [32] of the heating of Earth, with the rest being caused by visible light that is absorbed then re-radiated at longer wavelengths. Visible light or ...

   Inset shows false color infrared thermograph of a roof on a sunny day; the white surfaces (colored blue in the thermograph) have been coated with an elastomer to reduce solar loading and have a surface temperature of approximately 60 °F (16 °C); the gray surfaces (colored red/white in the thermogram) are a standard asphalt (bitumen) coating and have a surface temperature of approximately 160 ...

   Another type of thermometer that is not really used much in practice, but is important from a theoretical standpoint, is the gas thermometer. Other important devices for measuring temperature include: Thermocouples; Thermistors; Resistance temperature detector (RTD) Pyrometer; Langmuir probes (for electron temperature of a plasma) Infrared ...

9. Infrared detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_detector

   An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic (photodetectors). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [2] Bolometers and microbolometers are based on changes in resistance.
