Thermal imaging works well when trying to see people in the dark. It’s also better suited for the darkest conditions. Most night vision goggles, however, use image enhancement technology.

Hi, re! Actually, all of our Wonders are inspired by Wonder Friends like you! Did you know that you can add Wonders, which could be turned into Wonders of the Day?

Welcome, Maya! Thanks for the KIND words! There is a new Wonder of the Day featured every weekday! All the previous Wonders are kept on the site. Click on Explore Wonders at the top of the page! :)

WOHOO! We are so excited to hear you enjoyed exploring the dark with our night vision goggle Wonder, Zoey and Aniela! We can't wait to Wonder with you as we have fun with art tomorrow! Thanks for visiting today-- you two ROCK! :)

Image enhancement amplifies existing light. This makes images easier to see. Even on the darkest nights, tiny bits of light are present. Some of this light may be infrared light that people can’t see. Night vision goggles using image enhancement technology collect all the available light. Then, they amplify it so that you can easily see what’s going on in the dark.

First, it’s important to understand something about light. Did you know that not all light is visible? It’s true! The light we can see is called visible light. It’s only a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are other types of light that can’t be seen by the naked eye. This includes infrared and ultraviolet light.

I love this website it's so good for my school work and I get so much knowledge I've never ever learnt. Till this website was created :)

Thanks for asking, amelianna! Wonderopolis is made up of a team of people who love WONDERing about all sorts of things! We all work for the National Center for Families Learning and we love talking with our Wonder Friends! :)

How do night vision goggles work? That depends on which ones you’re using. There are two types of technology used in night vision goggles. They are image enhancement and thermal imaging.

Night vision technology has many uses for the military and law enforcement. For example, it can be used to find people in the dark. It’s also helpful for navigation and surveillance. Night vision can also be used for hunting and watching animals after dark.

Notchfilter transfer function

Optical density is crucial in establishing the strength of a filter. Its measurements can help in measuring the growth of a microorganism’s culture, biomass concentration, and other analytical techniques used in the life sciences.

The other night vision technology is called thermal imaging. Have you ever heard the word “thermal”? If so, you know that this technology has to do with heat.

Hi, Mike. Thanks for you service! Here is a WONDER about a more current device - touch screens. Wonder #420: How Do Touch Screens Work? Thanks for WONDERing with us! :)

Have you ever seen a night vision image? If so, you probably noticed that it had a green glow. Night vision goggles are made with screens that produce green pictures. That’s because human eyes are better suited to looking at green pictures for long periods of time.

Hi, matt! Thanks for exploring the Wonder Words and letting us know about the incorrect definitions. We apologize for the confusion! When we launched the new site layout several months ago, some of the definitions did not transfer correctly. We are currently working on updating all of the definitions. The Wonder Words for this Wonder have now been corrected! We hope you understand and visit again soon! :)

WOW, what a great list of ideas for using night vision goggles! The students in Ms. Bayko's class are really succeeding in using their imaginations! We are SUPER excited to learn about all the different uses for night vision goggles with our AWESOME Wonder Friends today! Thanks for posting your awesome guesses for tomorrow's Wonder-- we can't wait to get crafty with you! :)

Optical notch Filters selectively block a section of the spectrum while allowing the transmission of all other wavelengths. They are useful where there is a need to transmit some wavelengths while reflecting or blocking others, e.g., in spectroscopy, optical communication, and life-science applications.

Thanks for sharing your COOL comment with us, Hockey2399! We love to WONDER about cool technology and how it's put to use-- just like the firefighters demonstrated! Thanks for joining us in our Wonder adventure!! :)

Great question, Emily! We love that you've been doing some awesome WONDERing of your own about light! :) The little bit of light you can see in the dark are visible types of light-- so how you can spread the word that there are two types of light! We are so glad that you've shared your comment today-- and thanks for posting your AWESOME guess for tomorrow! :)

Isn't it amazing how the night vision goggles assisted the firefighters? It makes us Wonder about other useful technology that helps professionals succeed in their lines of work! Currently, night vision goggles allow users to see better in the dark, but depth perception and scope of vision aren't great with the goggles. However, we Wonder if the awesome students in Mrs. Brown's AWESOME Period 3, 5 and 6 classes can do some research on their own-- we bet there are technological enhancements in the works!! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME comments with us, Wonder Friends! :)

Bandpass filter

Optical notch filters have many applications where there is a need to transmit some wavelengths while reflecting or blocking others.

We WONDER what you would discover in your own backyard with night vision goggles! We think the students in Mrs. Valdez's 5th Grade class would find some amazing animals in their natural habitats!! Thanks for WONDERing with us and sharing your guess for tomorrow-- we can't wait to find out what kind of artistic things we will be learning about!! :)

Hi there, Christine! We are so glad that you're WONDERing about night vision goggles with us today! We think there are many uses for this nifty device and one of the best ways to learn about them was through the eyes of a firefighter in training! Thanks for your comment-- we are so appreciative that you've shared it with all our Wonder Friends today! :)

Great comment about today's Wonder, Tori! We think that there are such a variety of professions in the world that it's WONDERful to learn about new and exciting inventions and technology used in these jobs. You also made a great connection about the use of thermal imaging in night vision technology, too! Thanks for guessing tomorrow's artsy Wonder!! :)

Today’s Wonder of the Day was inspired by Jack from auckland. Jack Wonders, “What are night vision goggles?” Thanks for WONDERing with us, Jack!

Hi there, Brighid! Thanks for sharing your comments today about our night vision goggle adventure!! It's so interesting to learn how night vision goggles are used-- we never imagined that fighting fires could be helped by this technology!! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME idea for another Wonder-- we might be in store for a ghoul of a Wonder!! :)

Another WONDERful question from those bright students in Mrs. Foster's class! :) Thanks for commenting today about our night vision goggle Wonder! We bet you can find some great information online or at the library on how these AWESOME goggles are crafted. We would love to hear what you are able to find! Have a great day, Wonder Friends! :)

That's a great question, Preston! We hope you'll continue WONDERing about night vision goggles by researching how they are made! :)

How cool, Alex! Thanks for sharing your comment with us today-- we are so happy that it was right up your alley! We Wonder what other types of futuristic technology and projects you are interested in! We think it's AWESOME that you're doing a great job of WONDERing on your own!! :)

Hot objects, including human bodies, give off some heat in the form of infrared light. Night vision goggles use thermal imaging technology to capture that infrared light. This way, you can see an image of what’s going on in the dark. It’s based on the amount of heat being made by objects.

We are undergoing some spring clearing site maintenance and need to temporarily disable the commenting feature. Thanks for your patience.

The tilt of the optical notch filter with respect to the incident light is its angle of incidence (AOI). If the incident light is normal to a notch filter, the AOI is 0°. Transmission depends on the AOI for all-dielectric stack filters. As the AOI increases, the central wavelength of the hindering region shifts to shorter wavelengths.

We are so happy to hear you have been WONDERing about these awesome night vision goggles, Carlos!! The technology is very advanced, and when you wear the goggles, it provides more light even though it's completely dark outside!! What a cool invention!! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME comments today! :)

Ian, M and julian for contributing questions about today’s Wonder topic!

Have you ever seen a show or movie about a spy? If so, you may know spies use special glasses to see in the dark. These tools are called night vision goggles. Today’s Wonder of the Day takes a closer look at how they work!

Have you ever needed to be able to see in the dark? Night vision goggles can definitely help with that problem! They’re not just for spies and soldiers. Everyday people use night vision goggles for many purposes. Maybe you’ll get to try a pair for yourself one day!

Keep up the SUPER guessing, Tiauna! It doesn't matter if you correctly guess the next day's Wonder, as long as you have fun and learn something new!! We WONDER if there was anything exciting or interesting you learned from today's Wonder about night vision goggles?! :) Thanks for sharing your comments and guess with all of us here at Wonderopolis, Tiauna! :)

Optical notch filters are devices designed to attenuate light within a specific wavelength range to a very low level while transmitting most wavelengths with little intensity loss. Other names for optical notch filters include band-rejection or band-stop filters.

Hi, re! Actually, all of our Wonders are inspired by Wonder Friends like you! Did you know that you can add Wonders, which could be turned into Wonders of the Day?

Traditional band-stop filters also come with harmonic rejection bands. However, you need to worry about these only where wide pass bands are necessary. Although it is possible to adjust coating designs to remove harmonic rejection bands where they are not required, such coatings are more sophisticated and need to be thicker.

You have a great guess for tomorrow's Wonder, Ayush-- thanks for sharing it with all of us at Wonderopolis! We think it's pretty cool to learn HOW these goggles are used in certain situations, like when firefighters utilize them, to keep us safe! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME comment with us today! :)

Optical density (OD) refers to the amount of energy that an optical notch filter rejects or blocks. If the optical density value is high, the filter blocks more energy, resulting in low transmission. If the optical density value is low, the filter rejects less energy, resulting in high transmission.

Thanks, miles! We're THRILLED you liked this Wonder. We hope you learned lots of new information. Thanks for WONDERing with us! :)

They do the opposite of bandpass filters, a different type of filter that provides high out-of-band rejection and high in-band transmission, thus only allowing light transmission within a small wavelength range.

Hey there Siddman MC! Thanks for sharing your comment about today's Wonder with us-- we really appreciate it! You're not alone-- it's very difficult to see in the dark without assistance! We WONDER if you can do some more research on your own about different types of night vision gear-- it's really a fascinating idea! Have a WONDERful day! :)
