Heat travels in the form of infrared radiation. You don't use radiation to
detect radiation. You use a detector that responds to the type of radiation
you're trying to detect. In the case of infrared radiation, your skin makes an
excellent detector.

∙ 13y agoThe thermometer does not detect radiation. It is a device used to measure temperature, which is a measure of the thermal energy in a specific area or place. Thermal energy (heat) is transferred via conduction, convection and radiation, but the thermometer does not differentiate between them. A thermometer in the shade will read a lower temperature than one left in the sun.

Can I replace a 230watt linear halogen lamp with a 200watt halogen linear lamp with safety?
No problem because the 200 watt produces less heat.
Will your house plant grow with heat from a lamp?
No, because the lamp does not produce the type of light and heat energy like the sun produces and the plant can not perform its photosynthesis which is the process of which the plant grows, and it also depends on what type of plant you have.
How hot does a 60 watt energy bulb get?
A 60 watt lamp will poduce 60 watts during the time it is operating. If it runs for an hour, it produces 60 watt-hours of heat energy. If it runs for 16 2/3 hours, it produces 1000 watts during that period, or it can be said to use a kilowatt of energy in that 16 2/3 hours, or that it produced a kilowatt-hour of heat in that 16 2/3 hours. Heat can be expressed in watts, but we can't really convert watts into "heat in Celsius" as was asked. The heat energy generated by the lamp will heat air or the area directly around it, but by how much? This becomes a difficult problem. And we don't measure the heat produced by a lamp in degrees Celsius, but in watts or a similar measure of energy. While it is true that temperature is a measure of thermal energy, it can't be fairly applied here. A lamp produces watts of heat energy, but not "degrees" of heat energy. The investigator would have to specify a goodly number of things to determine the change of temperature (in degrees Celsius) resulting from the operation of a 60 watt lamp. It becomes a problem in thermodynamics.
What will happen if the heat lamp is 250 w and the holder is 150 w?
The heat lamp's heat will travel to the holder and it will be damaged, melt, or cause a slight fire!
How big of a fire hazard is it to plug a 150watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp?
The 150 watt bulb produces 2½ times more heat so unless there is enough air flow round it to take the heat away the temperature will rise and there is a fire hazard. That's why light fittings and lamp shades are often marked with the power limit.
What does a lamp produce of energy?
It produces light and heat.
When heat is transferred by particles or waves it is called?
Radiation. Like the radiation from the sun produces heat on earth

What comes out of a lamp?
Generally, electromagnetic radiation: ie. heat and light.
What are the energy transformations occurring in a filament lamp?
Electricity to heat, then black body radiation (i.e. heat to light [e-m radiation]).
What wave does a heat lamp use?
A heat lamp emits infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic wave. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, and it is often used to provide heat in various applications such as in heat lamps or infrared saunas.
At a fast-food restaurant through what process is heat transferred between a heat lamp and hamburgers?
Radiation
What does solar fusion produce?
Helium, and energy released which produces heat and radiation.
How did the heat reach your hand under the lamp?
Electromagnetic radiation travelling through space (the air).
What do the three form of radiation from the sun prodcue?
Among other things, the Sun produces light, heat, and cosmic radiation.
How come when you touch a light it burns you?
Any device that produces light also produces heat. Some more than others. An incandescent lamp is actually more efficient at producing heat than producing light. There are available different types of lamp which produce less heat such as LCD lamps.
