What is the science behind Infrared thermometer ?​

Physics
2 answers:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Infrared thermometers employ a lens to focus the infrared light emitting from the object onto a detector known as a thermopile. The thermopile is nothing but thermocouples connected in series or parallel. When the infrared radiation falls on the thermopile surface, it gets absorbed and converts into heat.

They can also be used for other things:

Infrared (IR) thermometers enable you to measure temperature quickly, at a distance, and without touching the object you're measuring.

They are so useful, easy, and even fun to use that they have become as common in kitchens as they have on factory floors.

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓

Define suspension and list two examples.
tigry1 [53]
<span>Suspension, chemistry definition is a heterogenous mixture, meaning one substance is different from another, when mixed, either of the substance (particularly the solid one), do not mix evenly. It could clearly be seen when one mixes a solution in a suspension state because it forms a cloudy solution, Best example of this is mud. In mud, though there is a mixture of solid and liquid, there is still evident traces of solid particles that do not mix evenly in the solution.</span>
