Peak Wave Deviation: How Far Do Objects Emit EM Radiation?

AI Thread Summary
Objects emit electromagnetic radiation across a spectrum, with intensity varying by wavelength, as described by blackbody radiation principles. Humans primarily emit infrared radiation, but they also produce some microwave radiation. The peak wavelength of emitted radiation depends on the object's temperature, following Wien's displacement law. Therefore, the distance from the peak wave where radiation is emitted can vary significantly based on the object's thermal characteristics. Understanding these emissions is crucial for applications in thermography and remote sensing.

How far from the peak wave do objects emit electromagnetic radiation? Humans emit infrared radiation, but I read that we also emit some microwave also.

Blackbody radiation is a continuum. You radiate over the whole spectrum, with intensity varying as a function of wavelength.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
