The temperature of a Pāhoehoe lava flow can be estimated by observing its color. The result agrees well with other measurements of temperatures of lava flows at about 1,000 to 1,200 °C (1,830 to 2,190 °F).

Much of a person's energy is radiated away in the form of long-wave infrared (LWIR) light. Some materials are transparent in the infrared, but opaque to visible light, as is the plastic bag in this thermal (LWIR) camera image (bottom). Other materials are transparent to visible light, but opaque or reflective in the infrared, noticeable by the darkness of the man's glasses.
