radiation thermometry

Radiation thermometry is a method used to measure temperature by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by an object. Unlike traditional thermometers that require contact, radiation thermometers can gauge temperature from a distance. They work on the principle that all objects emit infrared radiation based on their temperature—hotter objects emit more radiation. This technology is commonly used in various fields, including industrial processes, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, providing a non-invasive way to measure temperature accurately without direct contact with the surface being measured.
