A-1 Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A Thermal Radiation Heat is transferred from all objects via radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves or by conduction or convection. All objects having a temperature greater than absolute zero (-273°C, -459°F, 0 K) radiate energy. The thermal energy radiated by an object increases as the object [...]

Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A A-2 Blackbody When thermal radiation falls on an object, part of the energy is transmitted through the object, part is reflected and part is absorbed.
