A: A photocell has the property to change resistance as photon hit its surface that cause a change in resistance with current is flowing a voltage is generated
Because motion sensors sense the movement of light, so if its dark, it cant see.
To automatically turn in the headlights after dark.
it is used in cars to control if its dark yet to turn on the lights
Your eyes basically sense light bouncing off stuff, so if there's no light, there's nothing for them to sense - we call that "dark".
Most motion sensors rely on detecting changes in infrared energy to sense movement, and they may struggle in very dark areas. However, there are some motion sensors equipped with infrared illuminators that can detect motion even in complete darkness. These sensors use their own source of infrared light to illuminate the area and detect movement.
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
Robots can sense their surroundings through various sensors such as cameras, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and touch sensors. These sensors gather information about the environment and send signals to the robot's control system, allowing it to perceive and react to its surroundings.
LDRs (light-dependent resistors, also known as photocells a, can be used for most light-sentsitive applications like "is it light or dark out?", "is there something in front of the sensor that would block light?", "is there something interrupting a laser beam?" (break-beam sensors), or "which of multiple sensors has the most light hitting it?"
Sensors are called sensors because they sense or detect changes in their environment, such as light, temperature, motion, or pressure. They provide input data for electronic devices or systems to respond accordingly. The term "sensor" is derived from the Latin word "sensor" which means "one who perceives."
Light sensors are devices that are designed to detect light. There are several different types and styles of light sensors, each of them unique and having their own specific and useful uses.
The sun and other lights are what go though the camera and to the sensors that record the image. The lighting determines how light or dark the image is... etc.
