You have a sensor at each track. Each sensor has a red or green light. Move the sensor until the light turns green. Use a string if you have to. The sensors have to "see" each other.
An infrared beam is often used on a security alarm. When the beam is broken, an alarm sounds. The beam is invisible because infrared is electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than the ones with visible light.
A small beam of light
A laser beam garage door opener works when the beam is broken by a vehicle or an opener is activated. The activator opens the door.
infra-red. harmless. same as the beam from your remote control.
yes
In general, no. You may be able to exploit non-linear properties of the medium through which light is shining, but you cannot stop light using just other light.
Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.
im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.

Linear garage door openers are used for opening a garage door in a wireless manner. They use a light beam and receiver to allow one to open the door without physically touching it.
