What is an Infrared Thermometer?
This non-mercury gun thermometer is used with the aim "no contact" while performing a temperature check of a person. It scans any object or the human body with the help of a infrared laser. It is also called “Laser thermometer” or “non-contact thermometer”. Due to its gun-shaped structure, it is also called a “Temperature gun”. With an starting price range from approx INR 2300 to INR 7000 in India it widely used to perform temperature check at public places like airports , bus stations etc.
By the emission of a certain amount of infrared energy from any object or body, we can measure the temperature which is displayed on the screen after scanning the object or human body.
The infrared thermometers are used to measure the temperature of any object and is widely used to check fever which is one of the symptoms of coronavirus. The symptoms of coronavirus can be seen in 2 to 10 days.
As the temperature of any particular object increases it changes the wavelength of infrared laser beam emitted by a thermometer which is detected and computed by it and displayed on screen. Infrared energy is an invisible electromagnetic wave which can not be seen but can be sensed in the form of heat.
