Infrared Energy in Thermography. |
|
Infrared is part of what is termed the "electromagnetic (EM) energy spectrum", which includes Ultra Violet, X-rays, visible light, microwaves and radio frequencies. In the image below, you can see that infrared lies just under visible light in it’s frequencies. Infrared energy has a longer wave form than the energy of visible light. Like radio energy, there are many individual frequencies within the infrared band of energy, and each "band" of frequencies has some unique characteristics. When you turn on a light bulb, visible light is not the only thing it produces, it is also producing other forms of energy like sound and heat (infrared). In living, your body produces many different types of energy. Sound, heat, radiant heat (Infrared, or IR), electricity, mechanical and chemical, as well as performing an absolutely amazing range of chemical reactions, some of them so quick that they can really only be expressed mathematically. Your body heat is radiated from you as IR (infrared) energy. The scanning equipment captures this IR energy and quantifies it. Because IR is radiated heat, an accurate temperature measurement can be gained by careful measurement of the IR energy's amplitude and frequency radiating from the emitting surface (skin). In summary, thermal imaging is a picture that captures the infrared energy (heat) emitted from your body instead of capturing the light reflecting from your body. Infrared energy is radiated heat energy. Heat is radiated in the form of infrared energy. When you hold your hands to a heater or a fire, what you are feeling as heat is actually infrared energy.
