I believe infrared detectors measure heat being given off by an object. However since everything gives off heat.. the detectors have to be cooled down to very low temperatures themselves using liquid helium croyogen. Emma D
Here's how thermal imaging works:

There are no uses of infrared detectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
infrared waves have certain heating capacity. certain instuments are made to absorb these waves and by measuring the heat production in certaing amount of time, the waves are measured.
Infrared rays are detected through the use of heat-sensitive devices. These devices include photoconductors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells and thermocouple detectors.
It is detected using a thermal imaging camera
They can 'see' infra red radiation or heat
Yes. Infrared are currently considered to be the best option to detect gas leaks. They use the absorption of infrared radiation at certain wavelengths to detect dangerous levels of toxic and combustible gases.
Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat-sensitive devices such as thermocouple detectors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.Pranay karnatak
they are uesd for lamps and stuff like that
Beta particles are often used in smoke detectors.
lasers, light bulbs, inert gases, liquids, liquid detectors
Motion detectors are: infrared detectors, ultrasonic, microwave, radiowave and... dogs.

An infrared detector needs a power source to operate and it is used to active a relay that can be used as a switch.
Interior systems usually provide infrared motion detectors located in strategic areas
Special thermometers for high temperatures, thermistors, thermoresistances, thermocouples, infrared detectors.
No, infrared port uses IR radiation and bluetooth uses radio frequency radiation.
Infrared gas detectors are essential to your next home improvement or remodeling project. This technology is a reliable way to detect explosive and even lower levels of gas in your home and could prove essential in saving your home from a gas leak. Infrared gas detection is based upon the ability of some gases to absorb IR radiation. With the advanced designs currently employed in this technology, infrared gas detectors require no routine calibration and are basically maintenance free. They also have a fail-to-safe operation, making them a valuable asset to your home remodel.
