What are the uses for infrared apart from heat seaking cameras?
AlexH755
Infrared allows Photography in low light situations when there is not enough visible light. It also permits bringing out different types of terrain in aerial photography: land, water, trees, fields, factories and so forth, based on the amount of heat they emit or reflect.
In other uses, TV remotes use infrared, as do some auto-focus cameras. Most "electric eye" systems nowadays use IR, along with the sensors that flush the toilet automatically when you step away in public restrooms. Heat lamps emit a lot of infrared...
These are just a few of the uses.

What form of heat transfer lets infrared cameras work?
Radiation
What electromagnetic waves can thermal cameras detect?
The infrared spectum since this is attributed to heat.
Where can I learn about infra red cameras?
Infrared cameras use heat to create an image, rather than color. People use infrared cameras to take images at night, when color isn't readily visible. Try www.infraredcamerasinc.com for more info.
Where can I rent an infrared camera?
Infrared cameras are fairly pricey to rent, and can be difficult to track down. One large company that offers rental services is TLCO Scientific. They have infrared and heat tracking systems that are able to seperate temperature variations down to a single degree.
Which is the wavelenght that is nicknamed heat wave infrared or ultraviolet?
Heat is infrared radiation.
How do infrared quartz heaters work?
The infrared quartz heaters have the infrared emitters and they emit infrared rays continuously to heat the heater in the instrument. The heat is generated and infrared emission stops.
What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
How does the infrared cameras work?
Infrared is like light with a wavelength beyond the range of human eyes. It can however be picked up by infrared photographic film and digital sensors (digital cameras usually have a filter to block it out though). When taking infrared photos an infrared filter is needed in front of the lens to block out the visible light.
Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?
yes, heat radiation is called infrared radiation
Does infrared pick up heat?
Yes, infrared radiation can detect heat. Infrared sensors are designed to detect and measure the infrared radiation emitted by objects, including heat emitted by living organisms or warm objects.
Does a hot iron emit infrared?
yes all heat energy is infrared radiation. so as it emits heat it is emitting infrared radiation.
Where does infrared heat come from?
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
