how do laser pointed thermometer guns find a reading of the temperature?
In: Technology
1.Heated objects “glow” infrared light. We cannot see it, but we can feel it.
2.Thermometers can actually see that light and it’s intensity.
3.One of the mechanisms for seeing is filtering – there is a photon detector (simple camera) behind a special filter that lets only infrared light go through it.
