Abstract

Understanding the physical principles of electromagnetic radiation will help you avoid the pitfalls and develop a scientific, problem-solving approach to new applications in the growing field of thermography. The goal of this paper is to link working approximations to the formal theory, illustrating that an understanding of the origin of these approximations can be crucial to your success. In addition, a glossary of terms is presented to improve our literacy in this fascinating field of thermography.
