It uses
the infrared heat waves and measures the temperature.

Infrared waves measure
heat.
Atoms in the windows naturally vibrate at the same frequency as
waves of
infrared energy, forming a barrier that prevents the
heat from escaping.
That interaction would set off a shock
wave through nearby interstellar gas,
heating the nebula to produce the
infrared glow (The Astrophysical Journal, doi.org/b56t).
Infrared waves are too long for our eyes to see, but our nerves feel them as
heat.
Infrared saunas generate
heat waves that penetrate deep into the body and produce the same kind of sweat you would experience with vigorous exercise.
Our
infrared saunas use a heater that creates
infrared waves that
heat the body directly.
An
infrared (IR) sauna uses a specific type of heater that creates
infrared waves to
heat your body directly, instead of just by the air surrounding you.
This long
wave infrared heat penetrates deeper into your body and the
infrared heat is more readily absorbed.
Carbon heaters produce high quality, long
wave infrared heat, but the problem is they do not produce a lot of
infrared heat — in our testing they seemed weak.
The carbon in our heaters allows the heater to produce long
wave far
infrared heat.
The result of this low temperature is that our heaters produce more FAR or LONG
wave infrared heat which is more therapeutic for your body.

The Carbon allows the True
Wave ™ heaters to produce long

infrared heat.
It is safe for us because the
infrared light
waves cause gentle
heat within the body, not just around it.
This means our heaters produce the majority of the
infrared heat in the vital
wave range of 6 to 12 microns with a good portion of wavelengths at 9.4 microns, the optimal absorption range of far
infrared by the human body.
Infrared heat is all around us and you have felt it from sources like fire,
heated sand on the beach and the sun (without the harmful ultraviolet
waves that the sun gives off).
The lower the surface temperature of the heater, the longer the
infrared wave and the more beneficial the
infrared heat will be.
These low surface temperatures produce long
wave infrared heat.

Completely harmless, we feel far
infrared heat from such sources as the sun (without the harmful ultraviolet
waves that the sun gives off) and fires.
Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect
infrared waves and thus are not
heated by this system.
Long
waves (
infrared) light from the sun, GHGs, clouds, are trapped at the surface of the oceans, directly leading to increased «skin» temperature, more water vapor (a very effective GHG), faster convection (with more loss of
heat to space in the tropics),... How each of them converts to real regional / global temperature increases / decreases is another point of discussion...
Note also that under hot conditions a stream of water vapor may not form clouds, but will instead act as an
infrared blanket that amplifies the
heat wave (this kind of
heat wave is seen in California, fed by marine moisture from Baja).
Much of the radiation from the atmospheric gases, also in the
infrared range, is transmitted back to the ocean, reducing the net long
wave radiation
heat loss of the ocean.
I can't force you to think about this, but please note, in traditional science
heat and light from the Sun are two entirely distinct from each other categories and not interchangeable, so, when «
heat and light from the Sun» are mentioned together like this, by «
heat» is meant the Sun's thermal energy on the move to us, radiant
heat, the electromagnetic
waves of thermal
infrared aka longwave
infrared, and by «light» is meant visible.
Ever since Herschel we've known that the great
heat from the Sun comes to us in the electromagnetic
wave / photons / particles whatever you want to call it which is the invisible thermal
infrared.
The bigger photons / particles /
waves such as thermal
infrared (near
infrared is classed with visible as Light, Reflective, not
Heat, Thermal), are big enough and powerful enough to move the whole molecule into vibration, it's too big for electronic transitions.
I have said that it's the invisible
heat from the Sun which
heats up the Earth and us.This is the electromagnetic
wave on the spectrum called thermal
infrared, longwave
infrared.
Perhaps you should take a break from this and go and sit outside in the fresh air and relax in the big powerful
waves of invisible longwave
infrared heat direct from the Sun warming you up inside and look at the benign, restful visible light from the Sun making the sky blue as it is bounced around all over the place by the molecules of air in the atmosphere.
It takes the bigger real
heat energy to do this, and that transferred by radiation from the Sun is the longwave
infrared waves of thermal
infrared.
Infrared light is even used to heat food sometimes — special lamps that emit thermal infrared waves are often used in fast food rest
Infrared light is even used to
heat food sometimes — special lamps that emit thermal

infrared waves are often used in fast food restaurants!
In 1906 American experimental physicist R. W. Wood published the results of an experiment that demonstrated that a glass greenhouse was not
heated by trapped long -
wave (
infrared) radiation.
atmospheric carbon dioxide allow
infrared (
heat)
waves from the sun to come down to earth and warm whatever they hit.
The molecule will first use the
heat energy in expansion and on cooling will again condense and sink because heavier, and it will cool when its
heat expanded volume flows to colder air which absorbs the
heat, the internal kinetic energy of vibration, which if strong enough will pass that
heat to another colder (which is why visible light is not a thermal energy, it is not powerful enough to move a molecule of matter into vibration, it takes the bigger
heat wave, longwave
infrared, aka thermal
infrared called that because it is the wavelength of
heat)-- that is how convective
heating warms the fluid gas air in a room, by circulation, in the rise and fall of molecules as they expand and condense, not by
heat energy propelling molecules to hit other molecules..
In the real world; that being the laboratory where CO2 does its dastardly deed on our climate, the source of the energy that purports to do the
heating, is (on average) a black body like source of Long
wave infrared radiation having a spectral peak at about 10.1 microns wavelength, and containing about 98 % of its energy in a range of about 5.0 to 80 microns wavelength, at an effective Temperature (on average) of 288 Kelvin.
According to the theory, a doubling of the CO2 concentration will result in an increase in the power carried by the downwelling long
wave infrared radiation (DWLWIR), up from approximately 346 W / m ^ 2 (for simplicity I am rounding to the unit place and suppressing the uncertainty) by 4 W / m ^ 2 (2), and the Earth surface will warm until the sum of the upwelling long
wave infrared radiation (UWLWIR), the latent
heating of the troposphere (LH), and the sensible
heating of the troposphere (SH) has increased by 4 W / m ^ 2.
They are all «light
waves» coming from the Sun but with different properties, attributes, functions, uses, qualities, whatever you want to call this, just as molecules of gases are different, have different weights, size,
heat capacities and so on, radio
waves are light
waves, they are not
infrared or blue light.
