Hello all! I'm a sales rep here at << company name removed by moderator>>, we manufacture conformal coating/curing systems. Normally, i'd just ask one of our engineers this question, but production as been shut down for the week as we move to a new facility, so I am out of contact. A...

Using the IR full scan, I have to determine the formula and the structure of the compound. I have attached the scans. Looking at the IR scan, I see that I have an NH and a CH. So is my compound CH2N?? I also have a mass spec output for an unknown organic compound. I have to determine the...

So, I was playing around with remote controls last night and realized that, under the right conditions, I could see a very faint, blinking red glow from the LED that transmits signals to the TV when I held down a button. Looking this up, it appears that most such LED's shine at 940 nm, which is...

Greetings all! I am doing this experiment with my son: http://www.ehow.com/how_2092756_make-infrared-goggles.html" Since IR is a segment of the EM spectrum that human eyes cannot see, how is it that this experiment works? To clarify my question further, since visible light and IR are...

Hey all. I am building an IR modulator but seem to have a small kink in the design. Here is my schematic: Here is a picture of the oscilloscope, connected between ground and the output of the TL555 timer and the output of the second transistor (the output pulse going into the LED's)...

Is there a way to change visible light like the light coming out of the screen you're reading into infrared or any other invisible light and then take that and change it back somewhere else? What I'm what I'm trying to do is make a computer screen or maybe a T.V screen visible to only those who...

Is it be possible to produce from the Intensity return of reflective IR laser the true color of the object causing the reflection of the laser? My though is that surfaces of the same material, but of different colors would cause slight changes in wave length of the laser light. These changes...

1. Compare and interpret the infared spectra of 4-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexanol. 2. Identify the C-H out-of-plane bending vibrations in the infared spectrum of 4-methylcyclohexene. What structural information can be obtained from these bands?

Hi guys! I'm a beginning EE students, and haven't taken many courses yet (haven't even covered transistors in my circuits class yet-- we're up to diodes, woo!). For a "for fun" project, I've been messing around with the Arduino microcontroller...

I need a list(data numbers) of short range IR emitter and detector(not very expensive) which can be used as a break beam sensor.. I also like to know what is the specific IC number which is used to tune the IR emitter's frequency which matches with the detectors receiving frequency. I have heard...

Why does a hot object emit Infra red light. How are photons are emitted from it?

As aforementioned, I have a L14F1 phototransistor. I am using this in a DC circuit. A stupid question it is. Please take it seriously however. Read carefully; I repeat: how do I make a switch in a DC circuit using a L14F1 (3-pin) phototransistor? And coming to why I don't use a 2-pin...

Where can i get the datasheet? thanks.

Hi all out there. I had recently salvaged an IR bulb from a TV remote (universal). The component I am in search for is an IR switch, that is, completes a circuit only when a signal from an IR LED is received. Could this also otherwise be made with common household stuff? I know that I may get...

At my business we are beginning the design of gas detection systems using IR. My question is what are the benefits of operating solid state IR sources in a pulsed mode?

Quoting from wikipedia I understand what symmetrical and antisymmetrical stretching come from and the number of vibrational mode(s) can be predicted basing on the concept of degree of freedom. However, for scissoring, rocking, wagging and twisting, are they considered as bending...

question is why speak about IR (short momentum) and UV (short distances) divergences ? in fact if we define \epsilon = 1/\Lambda then both integrals \int_{\epsilon}^{\infty}x^{-k}dx and the \int_{0}^{\Lambda}x^{k-2}dx have the same rate of divergence \Lambda ^{k-1} as...

perhaps is a dumb quetion but, given a IR divergent integral (diverges whenever x tends to 0) \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dx}{x^{3}} then using a simple change of variables x=1/u the IR integral becomes an UV divergent integral \int_{0}^{\infty} udu which is an UV divergent...

Here is something that I see every spring, when the sun gets higher in the sky and the temps moderate. Notice the depressions under the raspberry canes... The sun heats up the canes, both above and below (reflection from the snow) and the canes re-radiate IR, melting the snow below them, even...

I'm having problems measuring the temperature of a steel surface with varying emissivity with a pyrometer. So I thought one way to overcome the varying emissivity is to paint the surface with a paint that has a high uniform emissivity in the IR region. The paint should: Have high...

Hi, I'm trying to think up a way to shift IR rays into visible light spectrum so that the human eye can effectively see the IR image. Is it possible to do such a feat with something as simple as goggles made from a special material (e.g. anti-stokes pigments)?? If not possible with such...

Hello, I am trying to understand the difference between Active IR and Passive Thermal Imaging. First, I'll start off with what I DO understand, and finish with what's confusing me: I understand that in Active IR, objects are illuminated with Near IR (NIR) light (695-1000 nm) and then...

Hello everyone, I want to focus IR on a small rectangular area using a Fresnel lens. I tried trial and error to find the focal point of the lens but can't seem to be able to get the exact point. The frensnel lens is a multiple fresnel lens. Can anyone please help? Thanks =)

Atmospheric gases play a role in planetary temperature regulation Carbon dioxide levels have been rising rapidly in the Earth’s atmosphere and are linked by the IPCC to “global” warming. Recent failure of measured temperatures to advance with increasing carbon dioxide has called this assertion...

General query about heat absorption. We all know that something that is black both absorbs and radiates heat better. My question is how does this property vary across the spectrum, if at all, for different materials (if there is any difference?). For instance, a black painted car will heat...

Hey, I found this forum on good, so I apoligize for my lack of knowledge, but I am trying to determine the IR frequency of these two IR Text Messengers. Theyre designed to only send messages to one another, so is there any way I could test to discover their frequency? Would it be written...
