Any object emits infrared radiation. The hotter the object, the more infrared is emitted.
infrared rays
-- infrared (heat) radiation, in the toaster -- infrared (heat), by conduction or convection, on the burner or in the oven -- microwave, by radiation, in the radar-oven
An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called blackbody radiation emitted by the object being measured. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers to describe the device's ability to measure temperature from a distance. By knowing the amount of infrared energy emitted by the object and its emissivity, the object's temperature can often be determined. Infrared thermometers are a subset of devices known as "thermal radiation thermometers".
The ones called "heat waves", or infrared radiation.

it doesnt reflect but it stays on the object and only reflects enough so that the human eye can see it.
Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic wave.
[object Object]
refraction
Infrared wave
The wave will pass through the transperent object
Like any other electromagnetic wave, there is no limit how far infrared can go.Like any other electromagnetic wave, there is no limit how far infrared can go.Like any other electromagnetic wave, there is no limit how far infrared can go.Like any other electromagnetic wave, there is no limit how far infrared can go.
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
