Measuring Temperature: Practical vs Theoretical Approaches

AI Thread Summary
Measuring temperature without a thermometer can involve various practical and theoretical approaches. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the context, such as whether the inquiry is for academic purposes or practical application. Key considerations include the concepts of black body radiation and the distinction between contact and non-contact measurement methods. Participants emphasize clarifying the intended approach to provide more relevant suggestions. Overall, the conversation seeks innovative methods for temperature measurement in specific scenarios.

Hi everyone, How do u measure temperature, let's say of a car bulb without using a thermometer?


Your ideas are all welcomed.
Thanx

What is the context of your question? Is this for schoolwork?
 
Berkeman's question notwithstanding, do you know anything about black body radiation? I guess it'd probably be best to dial it back a bit and follow-up from dlgoff's question and ask if you are approaching this more from a practical or theoretical perspective, and whether or not you mean contact vs non-contact.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
