CPI Thermal Imaging & Infrared Technology 2

Question 1

When comparing thermal data with EMF readings at a potential hot spot, investigators are following which best practice?

Accepted Answer

Corroboration — using multiple data types to support or rule out anomalies

Answer

Triangulation — using GPS to locate the source

Answer

Calibration — adjusting sensors to match each other

Answer

Replication — repeating the same test 10 times

Question 2

What effect can HVAC air vents have on thermal imaging during an investigation?

Accepted Answer

They create localized warm or cool air streams that mimic paranormal temperature anomalies

Answer

They generate EMF spikes that overload the camera

Answer

They cause the camera lens to fog permanently

Answer

They have no measurable effect on thermal readings

Question 3

What does spatial resolution refer to in the context of a thermal camera?

Accepted Answer

The number of pixels in the detector array determining fine-detail capability

Answer

The temperature range the camera can measure

Answer

The speed at which the sensor refreshes each second

Answer

The battery life of the device

Question 4

A thermal anomaly that appears and disappears in sync with a flickering fluorescent light is most likely caused by:

Accepted Answer

Radiated heat pulses from the light's ballast cycling on and off

Answer

A paranormal entity interacting with the light

Answer

The camera's refresh rate mismatching the light's frequency

Answer

Static buildup on the camera lens

Question 5

Which environmental baseline measurement should be recorded before beginning thermal imaging sweeps?

Accepted Answer

Ambient air temperature throughout the site

Answer

The exact GPS coordinates of each room

Answer

The number of occupants who used the building the previous day

Answer

The Wi-Fi channel in use at the site

Question 6

How does window glass typically appear on a thermal camera during a cold night?

Accepted Answer

Cooler than surrounding walls due to lower insulation value and heat loss

Answer

Uniformly hot due to reflected interior heat

Answer

Identical in temperature to surrounding walls

Answer

Invisible because glass blocks all infrared radiation

Question 7

When documenting a thermal anomaly, which data should be recorded alongside the image?

Accepted Answer

Timestamp, location, ambient temperature, humidity, and any known heat sources nearby

Answer

Only the investigator's subjective impression of what they felt

Answer

The client's belief about what caused the anomaly

Answer

The camera model's warranty expiration date
