Non-Contact Thermometer with Laser Targeting
Safety - DO NOT POINT LASER AT ANYONE'S EYES
Infrared thermometers can be used to serve a wide variety of temperature monitoring functions. A few examples include;
detecting clouds for remote telescope operation, checking mechanical or electrical equipment for temperature and hot spots, checking heater or oven temperature, for calibration and control, checking for hot spots in fire-fighting, monitoring materials in processes involving heating or cooling, and measuring temperature of volcanoes. We could use them to find temeperatures of different surfaces in our school and suburbs. |
Infrared thermometers can be used to serve a wide variety of temperature monitoring functions in humans. A few examples include;
measuring the temperature of patients in a hospital without touching them,
At times of epidemics of diseases causing fever, such as SARS coronavirus and Ebola virus disease, infrared thermometers have been used to check arriving travellers for fever.

Preliminary Investigation
Mrs Morritt designed these short introductory investigations. There were several problems with the methods suggested to measure temperatures of flames and heated water.
Your task is to form a Design Team of two to three students. Your Team number will be the number of the one Infra-Red sensor assigned to you.
Assign roles to each member so you can divide up the work.

Measuring the temperature of the flame; or is it?
Decide if this is a valid method for finding the temperature of the flame. Suggest what is being measured in this situation. The metal is copper (Cu).
